Happy Birthday Verve!!!

Welcome to the first ever official Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hop.

Verve turns two today and we’re celebrating with a hop, hop, hop!

The party kicked off over on the Verve blog, so if you’ve just happened along, be sure to hop on over there to start from the beginning!

Psalm 121:1-2

And to make this party a real shindig, there’s a mystery jackpot hidden at one of the stops along the hop.

One lucky commenter on that blog will win Verve’s entire August release!

But of course, it wouldn’t be a mystery if you knew which blog, would it?

So if you’re feeling the love, give a little shout out to the bloggers in the hop and you just might have a reason to jump for joy!
