If you took part in last week's blog hop, remember to visit the Ideas to Inspire blog to see if you're a winner of one of three fab prizes. The newest products will be available at the shop today. I suspect the site might be a bit on the busy side with this release if everyone heads over there at the "opening gun," but never fear, this release is worth the short wait! :)
