A "Comment Hop" is our way of celebrating the AWESOME creations of our designers and challenge participants!!  To be eligible to win a FUN prize, all you need to do is hop to each of our Guest Designer's projects and each of the participants' projects to leave an encouraging comment!!  We'd love for you to become a follower at each blog (with a link to your blog so everyone can find you too!) since our 'mission' is all about promoting and celebrating one another...

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 #5 -- And maybe your name will be in this spot next time!! :)
