50 States Blog Hop! - Nevada

Welcome to the 50 States Blog Hop! Most of us would love to travel but are having staycations this year. What better way to travel but through a blog hop. This hop was inspired by our host Shawnee's journey across the United States as she traveled with her family to their new home. The United States is truly beautiful with many wonderful places to visit and see.

If you've hopped along from West Virginia with Michelle, then you are in the right place!! If you are just joining me from your dashboard or happened along from somewhere else, please be sure to CLICK HERE to start with the first state in the union, Delaware, because you won't want to miss out on any of the fun (or any of the blog candy!!)...

There is an AMAZING Grand Prize Package for one LUCKY hopper (winner chosen by Rafflecopter)!!  To be entered to win, please do the following:
So what's the Grand Prize???
Cricut Cartridge - Destinations, beautiful handmade flowers from Shannon at Creative Chaos Flowers, and a $20 Gift Certificate to Scraptastical Kreations.


Now on to my state and my project....

Nevada became the 36th State on October 31, 1964
"The Silver State"

The State Colors are Silver and Blue
The State Tree is the Single-Leaf Pinon
The State Flower is Sagebrush
The State Bird is Mountain Blue Bird

I chose to do Nevada because it was the first trip my husband and I took together other than our honeymoon which was local anyways. My mother-in-law who always goes to Reno was going to take my husband to Reno for his 21st Birthday as she had done with his sister. Since I was turning 21 four days after him I got to go too! So here are some pictures I took from our Hotel. It will be a trip I will remember forever. We had a lot of fun!





Please leave a comment below to enter to win some Stickles. One winner will receive two bottles of Stickles that represent the state colors which are Silver and Blue. You will have until next Friday September 23rd to enter to win!

Now you can hop to the NEXT STATE IN THE UNION, Nebraska with Lori  Remember to leave a comment on each state to be eligible for the GRAND PRIZE!!
