First up, I am going to give you a series of questions

and links all around The Shaque.

You will have to "I Spy" the answers on the pages I link you too and
there will be the need to investigate a little on your own!

To be sure you are in the right spot, 

you should see this picture on each post!

Once you have gathered all of your answers,

email them to me

at strgazrblueyes22477{at}yahoo{dot} com

I will be sure to send an email back to you to confirm I have received your answers.

If you send me an email and are worried that I have not responded back and it
may have not went through...let me know in the comments :O)

For every correct answer in the "I Spy" game, you 

will earn 2 entries towards

the

Celebration Blog Candy Giveaway!

Here are the
"I Spy"
questions:

1.  Back in March 2011, I completed a Heritage Collage to honor
a noteworthy person that fell in my ancestral lineage.
Who is that noteworthy person?
http://jessicascraftshaque.blogspot.com/2011/03/heritage-wisdom-and-advice.html

2.  I have a large family and each year we enjoy our Family Reunion.
I completed a layout in May 2011
to showcase all of the family members that attended in the year 2008.
As of the time the photos in the layout were taken,
How many children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren did my mother have?

3.  I enjoy delving into many different techniques, art projects, and home decor.
I love to make wreaths as often as time allows.
I did a search of my own blog to be sure you would get the answer I get.....
Out of all the projects that are pulled up when I searched my blog for WREATH,
How many wreaths do you see?
(be sure to click on Newer Posts at the bottom of the page to see more)
http://jessicascraftshaque.blogspot.com/search?q=wreath

4.  If you know me at all, you know how much I love Unity.  So when you click on the tag/label on my sidebar that says Unity Stamps, scroll through the projects that are shown
and tell me the Post Title of your personal favorite project!
[No Link Provided...I can't make the game TOO EASY   :o)  ]
I have added the fun "I Spy" Picture for your ease in finding the Labels section

 5.  I MOST enjoy GIVING, but like any other crafter who gets an opportunity to win fun craft goodies, I am delighted to find out I have been chosen as a winner.  Whether it be during a Blogaversary giveaway, a Follower Appreciation giveaway, a Craft Challenge, or any
other type of drawing.
To show my appreciation I do a series on MONDAYS (when, and if, it applies)
to shout out to the wonderful Sponsors of the Challenges and Giveaways.
What is the name of this MONDAY installment series at my blog?
Be sure to provide the full name!!!
(No Link Provided . . . get your thinking caps on!!!!)

6.  Referring again to question #5, peek through all of those MONDAY posts.
Tell me the name of a Challenge Blog, Site or Sponsor you are
just now hearing about for the first time from viewing these posts?

7.  Did you visit the Challenge Blog, Site or Sponsor by clicking any given link
in the post?  If so, tell me one thing about their site that you most enjoy  and do you think
you will you return to their site again?

This concludes the "I Spy" game and remember, most of all

HAVE FUN PLAYING!!!!

make a personal note if you come across a past project of

mine that inspires you to create.
