Stamp of the Month Blog Hop October 2015 "Twinkle"

Hi everyone....thanks for stopping by!  I'm so excited to be participating in the SOTM Blog hop....it's been way to long and I've really missed that special connection we all have with one another :) I can honestly say...I'm unsure where the month of September went...but I'm so welcoming October and some cooler weather for sure.  If you're coming here from Jen Armstrong's Blog you're on the right path...yeah!  October's stamp set is titled "Twinkle" as a reminder that Christmas is right around the corner...and the perfect time to start creating those special gifts for all those wonderful people in your life.  

Here is an up close picture of the stamp set....
