Happy Birthday, Rick!
Today we celebrate Rick Holland's birthday!! Rick has always been supportive of Kelley's passion and love for Our Daily Bread Designs, but this year, he stepped up that support by retiring from his day job! He's very mechanical, very organized, works hard and likes to have fun. . .today we celebrate Rick with a special hop! We are thankful to the Lord for His gift of Rick!! One of the blogs on the hop is a "hot spot" so if you leave a comment on that blog you just might be the winner of a $20 gift certificate redeemable for some lovely Our Daily Bread Designs stamps! (Is this the hot spot or was it one of the other stops?)
If you arrived here from Sandee's blog, then you're in the right spot. If you got here via another route, please head on back to the ODBD blog to be sure you don't miss any stops (because I'm the last stop on the hop!) Thanks for participating in our Happy Birthday Rick! blog hop.
Complete details are available on the ODBD blog.
