Happy Saturday all!! I hope you are all enjoying the weekend!! This weekend is the last moments we have to pack before the movers come!! Yikes!! I got a lot to do yet!! Boy what a lot of stuff we have!!!

Any who...I am popping in to share this week's Shining the Light challenge. Today marks the 100th challenge!!!!

This week's challenge:

Since next week will be the Our Daily Bread Designs Anniversary Blog hop, this challenge will last two weeks.

Today marks the second March Anniversary challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs. The anniversary stone given for the fourth anniversary is topaz and the birthstone for March is aquamarine. This week we want to see aqua or topaz (blue) with your favorite scripture, sentiment, or quote. You must use Our Daily Bread Stamps to link your creation.

To make the challenge even more fun, we will be giving out a prize, a $15 gift certificate to be used toward stamps at the Our Daily Bread Designs store!! Entries for the prize must be submitted by Friday, March 16th at 8 a.m. EST. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday.

While it is not required to use Our Daily Bread Designs images and sentiments on most of our challenges, this month it is an Our Daily Bread Designs only challenge month in honor of the ODBD 4th Anniversary. Three or more of our participants will be chosen for the Shining the Light Award . In order to qualify for this award or join the challenge, however, you must use Our Daily Bread stamps and have your submission added to Mr. Linky by Friday,
