Rock Star Spotlight ~ Joy Hadden

Happy Hump Day, everyone! It’s time for another fun installment in our Rock Star Spotlight series. In case you missed my earlier posts, we’re taking a break from our usual projects and challenges this month to bring back our Rock Star Spotlight series. So each Monday and Wednesday throughout December we’re featuring a different Rock Star and showing off some of their latest creations too.

We hope you’ve been visiting often and leaving each of these talented ladies a little love in the comments. And remember… to make it even more fun for you, we’ll be awarding a $25 Repeat Impressions gift certificate to one lucky commenter. Every comment earns you another chance to win. So visit and comment often. We’ll use random.org to choose a winner and make the announcement the first Monday of next month.

Today we’re shining the spotlight on RI Rock Star, Joy Hadden.
