Week 156 - It's our third Birthday

A very good morning to you all, Brenda here welcoming you to 'Allsorts Third Birthday Celebrations'. 

It really doesn't seem possible that it's three years since we nervously posted our very first DT pieces and invited you all to join in. Since then the challenge has gone from strength to strength...........all of that can only be down to all you lovely crafters who come back week after week and join in the fun, so a huuuuuuuge thank you to each and every one of you.

And we also extend a grateful thank you to all our lovely sponsors who have played a very big part in heping get us to to this stage, we couldn't carry on without you.

So as you might expect we have a bit of a celebration going on, the inevitable blog hop, some lovely sponsors and this weeks theme which could only be:

'Happy Birthday to Someone Special'

So I had better get started with the blog hop, I know many of you know the routine, but as we see lots of newcomers to blogland I will briefly explain what you need to do:

* Visit each of the DT in the order listed below

* Leave each one a comment on their Allsorts challenge post for this week, if you don't, you won't  be in with a change of winning the prizes on offer on their individual blogs.

* Collect a 'hidden letter' from each one and arrange them into a 'secret word' 

* Mail your answers to Emma metalicbutterfly@hotmail.co.uk  (not me as someone booked a late holiday deal and forgot she was meant to be hosting the Birthday challenge !)

We have given you one letter to help you on your way, you just need to collect the other seven and assemble into the 'secret word'..............the 'f' is in the right place...............it's easy peasy, but it's meant to be fun !

Now here's the list of DT's you need to visit, each will tell you were you should have arrived from and where you are going next, but if you get lost you can always come back here and start afresh.
