Hello and welcome to the first ever I Love Lucy Blog Hop!!!!!!! I am soooo excited to be hosting this hop because "I Love Lucy" is one of my TOP favorite shows!!! I never get tired of watching them!!

That is so beautiful!! I love the fabric on the dress form and the bling. I love that sentiment too! Thanks for letting me be on this fabulous hop!!
Beautiful card Abby!! I love the material you used on the dress!! Thank you so much for allowing me to join you on this fun hop. I enjoy watching Lucy, but you take the cake girlie!! lol
You and my lit sis should get together!!!
Great job!!!
I fell in love with Lucy as a little girl, watching the episodes with my grandma. I followed her later shows, but I Love Lucy was the best. I have many trinkets, books, memorabilia, etc in my studio, and everyone knows to get me something Lucy themed if they want to see me smile! In 6th grade, she passed away and my mom let me watch the coverage on her death and I remember weeping. I even saved the tissue in my diary! By the way, LOVE the paris dress episode.
I love the dress! My addiction has always been creating things. :) TFS

Wonderful card!! I Love Lucy! My addiction? While vacationing in Niagara Falls we drove 2 hours away from from our original destination, Boston, to visit her hometown of Jamestown. We visited the museum and it was well worth the visit!!
Wonderful episode and your card goes perfectly with it. I love the card! I don't have a Lucy addiction, but my sister does. She has a Lucy room in her house! I think crafting is my addiction.

Oh wow...watching that Lucy clip really brought back some memories and your card is a perfect tribute to that episode...I love it!
Well, I don't have a Lucy obsession, though I always loved her show...but I do have a similar obsession with the show "Friends".
I have every season on DVD and watch it every single night when I go to bed! (Poor hubby...he never complains when he has to listen to the friends song every night!) LOL!
It funny, because I can relate to what you said about putting in the DVD's and without watching...just listening you know exactly what's going on!
Love the idea for this blog hop!
One day maybe I'll do a FRIENDS blog hop!

Great card & memory. I just stumbled across this hop & had to visit since I love Lucy too! My addiction?? What addiction...I have a beautiful photo stamp of her that I love to use when making cards. I also have a collection of 100 different tv cards from her show that are great for cardmaking too. I have a few of her tv dvd's & movies. I loved her "Your's, Mine & Ours" & "The Long, Long Trailer" movies. They are still funny today. TFS!
Beautiful card! Great Blog Hop theme!!!! I wouldn't say that I have an I Love Lucy addictions, but I love watching the old shows on TV when I run across them and usually end up laughing so hard it brings tears! My addiction is anything and everything Disney!

Beautiful card... I don't have a Lucy addiction... If we are talking about TV my addiction is the The Housewives shows.......
Your card is perfect for the Lucy clip. I have the Lucy DVD's that are out. My favorite of all time is when Lucy and Ethel are working in the candy factory.

Debbiewilson62@comcast.net
Adorable!!! I love the doll too!
TFS!
Maybe because my name is Lucy, I'm addicted! I love her shows and laugh over and over. Thanks for the chance. Lucy
Gorgeous card--so creative!
I've been so excited about this blog hop.... why???? because I am from Jamestown, NY (you know that but others don't)the birth place of Lucille Ball!
We all have grandparent stories around this area with Lucy. My Grandpa Rhodes lived next door to Lucy when they were kids. She was same age as my Uncle Cecil and he, Grandpa and Lucy would walk to Washington Jr. HS together. They all lived on 23rd St.
Great hop!

Thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of this awesome blog hop! I am a Lucy fan as well! I have a couple of books on her, have about 10 of the Barbies, watch the show just about every time I see it playing on tv! On my myspace page under the section of people I'd like to meet- it lists Lucille Ball because I think it would be awesome to have been able to spend a few minutes with this awesome lady!
chrisbrown1973@hotmail.com
Oh I remember Lucy well. I too grew up with her. I liked the original I love Lucy much better than the later edition. As far as TV shows, I am an original Trecki but only for the original shows. Right now I am addicted to crafting, but I am a Gemini so who knows what is next.
The card is really cute! i don't have a Lucy addiction,but vitameatavegimin is my favorite episode. :)
My addiction would be crafting. It keeps me from going crazy.
What a beautiful card! Although I don't have an addiction to I Love Lucy I did at one time. My new addiction is CARD MAKING!! My husband often gripes because he calls and either I am making a card or I am at Hobby Lobby buying supplies to make cards!!!

Just finished the hop and had a great time with it! Thanks for hosting this! I forgot to add in my earlier comment that I also have the Lucy salt and pepper shakers proudly displayed in my kitchen!
beautiful dress and it goes well with the clip, I'm a fan of Lucy!
paulahogue@yahoo.com
That is a beautiful card. I do love Lucy. watched it all the time as a kid.
Great card! That "burlap" looks fab as a dress! I can't say I have a Lucy addiction but I used to work at a candy company so we all got a kick out of the chocolate episode.
Your cards are perfect for this episode, loved watching it, don't think I've seen this one. Since I started scrapbooking it has taken over all my addictions, thanks for taking my down memory lane with Lucy!!

Your card is beautiful. I do enjoy I Love Lucy but I would not call it a addiction. I would probably have to say my addiction is Cricut cartridges, I always seem to find more that I want. I have about 60 and it just doesn't seem to be enough. Don't tell my husband though.

Oh this hop is going to be so much fun! I don't have a huge addiction, but I do love I Love Lucy and I do have a Lucy doll - the one where she is crushing grapes!
Oh my Abby your card is fabulous. It's perfect for Lucy. Especially the material used for the dress. Healthy addiction... I'm addicted to finishing my final semester of my Bachelors Degree and then getting into the Masters Program so right now school is my healthy addiction. I wish I had more time to craft but this week is spring break so hopefully I can craft and then craft some more. :) TFS, Vanessa

It sounds to me like my daughter wrote the blog. She is CRAZY about Lucy. She also plays DVD without watching and could probably quote word for word all the episodes. She has many collectible and books on Lucy. She even did a school project on Live, Laugh, Love and Lucy. I would love to win the doll for her.
Great blog hop idea and very cute card. TFS.

Abby this is PERFECT. I absolutely LOVE that episode a definite favorite, but since I LOVE I love Lucy and I lived in Paris it is a perfect combination!!!! My I LOVE LUCY addiction is pretty bad. I have every season on DVD and have watched every episode at least once and many of them MANY times over! That is a pretty good sized addiction isn't it? Hugs- Glora
She does wear the "dress" well though. :) Love the card. TFS.
My addiction is card/craft making.

I loved your card. I love Lucy, but I am not addicted to her. I would have to say that I am addicted to my kids. Anytime I am feeling tired or stressed at work, I just look at my pictures of my girls and I feel better and more energized and it puts a big smile on my face.

I do love Lucy! I don't get to watch her like I used to because I don't have cable. Two of my favorite scenes from any of her shows are the candy factory and the grape stomping. Classic.
fabulous card! funny, I actually think burlap can be elegant, just like your card!
Cute card!

That was a funny episode! I love your card. The saying is perfect for Lucy! When Lucy was on tv, I watched it everytime it was on. No DVD's here. My addiction is Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I am hooked and I love to watch them at least once a week, preferably while I am scrapping!
Great card! I used to watch all the episodes! My addiction now is coffee.. is that healthy? Oh Yes it helps keep me up at night.. more time to craft!
What a great blog hop! Thanks for hostessing! Love your card! Thanks for sharing!
Abby, I love your Lucy inspired creation. I Love Lucy of course. I use to have a store where I specialized in Wizard of Oz, Gone with the Wind, I Love Lucy, I Dream of Jeannie, Family Affair, Bewitched and Sid and Marty Krofft items.
I started it because of our Wizard of Oz Collection. I bet I still have a little Lucy inventory tucked away somewhere.
Thanks for sharing and I hope this blog hop goes through March 13 as it is 1 a.m. and I don't think I can get through it all before bed.

I do not have an addiction to I Love Lucy, although I never missed a show. I am, however, addicted to paper crafting and I think that is pretty healthy (if not costly). This is fun. Thanks for sharing and I am a follower. patnbobcuddy at gmail dot com
Love the card. So clever. Thanks for sharing. I'm addicted to scrapping, but I do remember all the I Love Lucy episodes.

OMG! Your card is stunning! Great job with all the detail. I absolutely love it! I wouldn't say that I'm addicted to I Love Lucy but I certainly love watching it. So does my 11 year old boy! He thinks it's hilarious. We have lots of laughs watching it together. TFS
I too, REALLY LOVE Lucy! This episode is one of my favorites, along with the chocolate factory job, etc.) So much fun to laugh and really enjoy, isn't it?
My addiction has always been paper and crafting, but there were Beanie Babies, gravy boats, and miniature perfume bottles along the way.
We are having a Charity scholarship event to provide funds for local women to return to college and one of our "Famous Women in History" theme tables is I LOVE LUCY. I'd love to WIN your blog candy to display on that table on April 15!! That would be so cool!!!
Many thanks for a wonderful Blog Hop!

Extremely beautiful card. What I have always loved about the I love Lucy Show is that no matter what kind a day you are having, you can always count on Lucy for a good laugh. TFS and a chance to win some candy.
cowbelleru@gmail.com
LOL!!! I'll admit I never watched any I Love Lucy episodes or anything, but THAT was HILARIOUS!!! Other than crafting and blogging, I don't really have any other 'healthy' addictions. :) What a fun hop this seems like it will be! :)
Sorry Abby, this is a second comment. But I forgot to tell you that I absolutely LOVE the card too! I was literally LOL at the I Love Lucy clip. :) That card goes perfectly with it; so clever and so cute!!! TFS! :)
Like I said, sorry about the second comment!!!!!
LOVE your card, Abby! Just beautiful! Thanks so much for including me in your hop.
Love your "burlap" dress card.

Absolutely gorgeous card, love the vintage look! As for my healthy addiction...it would have to be paper crafting and stamping!! Just can't get enough of it!!
Oh my gosh. I LOVE I LOVE LUCY. that card is absolutely adorable and sooo funny. I hope you send that to a true I Love lucy fan who can understand the whole meaning! I have been a Lucy fan for about 25 years now and I also have all the DVDs. I have a craft room in hot pink/black/white with lucy pictures up and thought if I could do layouts like these wonderful girls are doing, it would add so much to my room. Thanks for the idea and I am sooo glad I found your blog!
Love your card! I have enjoyed watching Lucy growing up and my favorite episode has to be when her and Ethel worked at the candy factory! I never laughed so hard! I love your card, it is so perfect with this episode! TFS and the opportunity to win this fantastic doll!
Hugs,

For those who never watched Lucy I have to tell you a story. I was newly married working days and husband working evenings. Lucy was on Nick at Night so I would watch her for 3-4 hours a night by myself. She made my lonely evenings something I really looked forward to. I laughed so hard my face would hurt! You gotta Love Lucy with us. Give it a shot! P.S. My father in law supposedly gave her airplane rides and my mother in law hated her! LOL. So I had grief whenever I brought her up for 2-3 years!
Beautiful card! TFS
I do love Lucy!!! Though I'm not addicted.
