Happy 8th Anniversary SOC!!! Celebrating 8 Years of Sistahood!

Welcome to SOC's 8th Anniversary Blog Hop! This is where it all began!  The start of the sistahood!

To commemorate Scraps of Color's 8th birthday, some talented papercrafters, have come together to share projects based on the celebrations in our lives. We wanted to have this special blog hop to celebrate this great crafting community where we laugh, play, and create together and encourage and inspire one another. Of course, a blog hop isn't complete without blog candy! There will be giveaways on various blogs throughout the hop! Plus there is a gift awaiting one visitor right here on the SOC Blog!! To be eligible for this prize, you must comment on all the blogs by Monday, Oct. 8 at 11pm EST. From all who are eligible, one lucky reader will be randomly drawn. The winner will be posted on all the participating blogs on Wednesday, Oct. 10.

For this hop, I thought what could be better than sharing a layout, that celebrates sistahood!  Although these photos are of myself and friends celebrating a birthday, it really represents 8 years of SOC, as well.  For most of us met online and they are some of the first members of the ever FABULOUS SOC Community.  We have been crafting together for years and have formed wonderful friendships.  Not only do we craft together, we have shopped together, dined together, retreated together, gone to fairs, traveled together, attended plays and so much more.  We have become good sistahfriends!  SOC does not only bring us together as crafters, it facilitates wonderful friendships!  SOC is family.  SOC is community. SOC is LOVE!

Fun Tip:  Not enough letters to complete your word.  Try a unique, yet fun spelling, like I did here by spelling happee instead of happy...I think it still conveys the message well!

Now to play along and be eligible to win this fun prize, be sure to leave a little love/comment below..and on each of the participating blogs by Monday, October 8, 2012, 11:59pm.  And while you are here: follow this blog (at right), share on Facebook, tell a friend!  It's all about LOVE, sharing the LOVE, spreading the LOVE!

And don't forget to visit the following blogs for more sistahly inspiration and more chances to win!
