Abusive Relationship Awareness Blog Hop

Click HERE for my 250 Follower Giveaway!!
Click HERE for my Close To My Heart Store!!


Hi All!




Welcome to the Abusive Relationship Awareness Blog Hop. While this may not be your typical blog hop theme, we decided to put together this hop in order to shed light on a topic that often goes unspoken about, when the truth is many of us have either been in an abusive relationship or know of someone who has. We're here not to celebrate abusive relationships, but to bring hope to those who have been firsthand or secondhand victims and to provide awareness to help put an end to this growing problem. 


All of our projects showcased in this hop have something to do with hope, love, and encouragement. The color for domestic violence is purple, and as you'll see purple was used on many of our projects.


Here is my project!!! I created a view master card! I thought butterflies would be PERFECT to symbolize rising above abusive relationships!!





To help promote awareness for abusive relationships, eleven sponsors have been kind enough to offer almost $200 worth of prizes to those who participate in the blog hop. Yes, you read that correctly, there will be 11 PRIZE WINNERS. Let's see what prizes are being offered...

Here's what you have to do to be eligible to win any of these fabulous prizes:
