Instagram Blog Hop *Summer 2012*

Photobucket

**ETA: COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED. A winner will be chosen and posted on the blog on Monday, June 18th.**

Welcome to the Summer 2012 Instagram Blog Hop!! I'm excited to be a part of this fun hop this year. Jessy organized this hop and there are a ton of giveaways to be had! 

Instagram is:  a fast, beautiful and fun way to share your photos with friends and family.
Snap a picture, choose a filter to transform its look and feel, then post to Instagram. Share to Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr too – it's as easy as pie. It's photo sharing, reinvented.

Bella Visser said...

Hey Melissa :o) I came over from Kim Watson's blog to partake in the fun blog-hopping giveaway... thanks for the chance to win your uber-fabulous prize!! Even though it's winter here in South Africa at the moment I do love summer for special family barbecue days outside by the pool or long strolls by the sea on the beach with the clear open blue sky and warm summer sun above you!

Miriam Prantner said...

What I love most about summer is that the hubby (who teaches) is off and life is just less stressful, there's more help around the house getting things done, just happier all around.

Ashley Newell said...

I love your pictures! I love the Farmer's Market in the summer and being able to get delicious local produce!

Serena Bee said...

I loved this post!!

Thanks for such a awesome giveaway!

Katy said...

your blog is lovely, but it is REALLY annoying that you can't right-klick on the links to the other blogs to open them in tabs.
when you klick on them, you actually leave this page.
if somebody wanted to "steal" your pictures, there are other easy ways anyway.
the message is kind of rude and insulting.

best wishes.

What a fantastic prize! Maybe I'm silly (or lazy?) but I'm really looking forwards too being able to take naps with my kids. I love it when we all sleep together in the big bed with the window open, hearing all the summer sounds outside and the sun shining in through the blinds.

kg said...

Summer gardening & beach trips, thanks for the chance!

Nitasha said...

Gorgeous work and photos! No homework and a more relaxed schedule is my favorite thing about summer! Thank you for the chance to win...I LOVE SC!!!

Nancy said...

what a fabulous prize Melissa, what I love most about summer is backyard barbecues and lots of beach time!

Christina in TN said...

the best thing about summer is the freedom to go where you want, WHEN you want. currently enjoying the summer with my boys and looking forward to all the fun things we have (somewhat) planned! :)

Allison R said...

I love the smell of suntan lotion! In MN, it's short lived but I love it I much. Great giveaway.

Sabrina ❤ vixendeity.blogspot.com said...

Seriously when I saw your name on the list I thought what?? Melissa Mann too?? This is awesome! Lol I got so excited. And sure enough your giveaway is the bee's knees too! What could be more perfect than an SC GC lol.

Fave thing about summer is waiting for the ice cream man and eating it in the heat!

Jeanne/Shelle86 said...

What I love the most about summer, must be the warm. In Denmark were I live, we have so much rain, snow and wind, that summer is a huge relief. Taking on trips to the beach and barbeque in our garden come in on second place :)

liana suwandi said...

stephanie said...

I love the smell of sun on my skin and the sense of freedom.

Talia said...

Oh my gosh, I love Studio Calico. :-) I love the food in Summer!

Caanan said...

Does air conditioning count? Probably what I like best about the summer is that I have a better chance at spending time with kids from church (last summer I had some of them over for a card making "class"). Thanks for the giveaway!!

Unknown said...

OMG, amazing giveway!
Thank you so much for the chance to win

Michelle S said...

Hey lovely! Love ur style! Summer to me is beaches, friends, vintage fayres, funfairs, ice cream, candy floss, picnics and sunshine {As I write its pouring down here in England :(} I'd LOVE 2 live in Florida

Molly Harbridge said...

Thanks for a chance to win... I already spent the gc 3 times! ;)

I love the heat and brightness of summer. Makes me so happy!~

Meghann Andrew said...

My fav part about summer is tanned skin, flip flops and pedis!!

Natalie Elphinstone said...

I'm ALREADY looking forward to summer (probably because its freezing cold here in the middle of winter in Australia). I can't wait to get outside in the sunshine and have picnics in the park :-)

Anonymous said...
