Welcome to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where

Greetings Portal Peeps!
Welcome to our 2nd annual
Edgar Allan Poe Appreciation Day Blog Hop
Last year the Mayor of Baltimore declared Edgar Allan Poe's birthday, January 19, an official city-wide E. A. Poe Appreciation Day and we decided to join the fun and host an annual blog hop. This is a progressive hop that spans over 5 days which means new Poe projects will join the hop every day as more Poe fans play so check daily, hop all the blogs and leave lots of love💜
The Blog Roll is in the form of an Inlinkz link up and the HTML code to use in your blog posts is provided below! Last year's
hop was a huge success and we hope to see lots of fabulous Poe themed creations shared again this year so lets get on with the Poe show!
PRIZE
