During each challenge, we encourage everyone to visit the designers and participants linked up in the post...  Then, at the end of each challenge, we will create a post with ALL of the designers and participants from that challenge to make it easier for you to hop through and comment on any posts you may have missed.  Be sure to leave a comment on EACH post and mention that you are visiting from Decorate To Celebrate!  On the Sunday following the end of each challenge, we'll announce our "Comment Hop" WINNER -- And we'd LOVE for it to be YOU!! :)  So go ahead and get started on the "Comment Hop" for Challenge #2 -- And maybe your name will be in this spot next time!! :)
