2019 To Bee or Not to Bee Blog Hop


Happy World Bee Day!

Blogging friend Milka is hosting another awareness blog hop, and this time,
it's all about BEES! The aim of the hop is to support bees and the protection of bees
as well as raise public awareness on the importance of bees and beekeeping.




In 2018 the UN designated May 20th as World Bee Day to raise awareness of the
importance of bees and other pollinators, the threats they face, and their contribution
to sustainable development.

Milka has rounded up bloggers, sponsors, and prizes, too! Hop with us, learn about
the importance of bees, and comment to win prizes from these generous sponsors
as well as prizes from individual bloggers.




The hop starts and ends at Milka's blog. You should have arrived here from
Amy Tsuruta's fun and fabulous blog. Before I send you on your way, meet my
card for the hop with products from sponsor Honey Bee Stamps.




The sentiment was stamped on white card stock and a honeycomb pattern was
cut through with hexagon dies. The panel was adhered to a white card base and
the hexies were ink distressed in yellow, then  popped back in their respective
spaces, making sure to line up the sentiment.

I stamped the bee and her happy face, then colored her with Copics and cut
her out with the matching dies. I popped her up on the card and stamped the
bee trail and spattered some "honey" over the card.

All right, off you go to Kathy Curry's blog, and continue on from there. Leave 
comments on all hop participants to be eligible for prizes. If you encounter a 
broken link, please visit Milka's blog for the complete list of blogs.

Thank you so much for hopping with us. Enjoy the rest of the hop and we hope 
you were enlightened on the importance of BEES.
