Where'd the time go?

I can't believe I've neglected my blog this long! I have craft giveaways to post, projects to feature and I STILL haven't put any photos on here of our trip to Belgium. We have since been back to Belgium for family camp so there's even more photos from that, the summer is drawing to a close, and now I'm looking at this candid photo I snapped of Alex, wondering, "Where'd the time go?" Well, I can't worry about where the time has gone but I can make the most of what's to come so here's a few highlights:

*First, I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to the ladies who posted their top ten encouraging things on my last post. I was so encouraged by the things you wrote! It's so easy to focus on the negative in life, something that I've made into a very bad habit. For anyone who didn't participate and you have no idea what I'm talking about, go to the posting prior to this one and click on "comments" just below the post. You'll be greatly encouraged just by reading the comments. Since you ladies have been so patient about waiting to see who won the drawing, I've decided to just go ahead and give each of you a prize. Sometimes it pays when I'm forgetful :) So, Kerry, Tasha, Diane, Jennifer, and Heather, I'll be in touch with each of you about your prize and the best way to get it to you. Thanks for playing along with my challenge!

*The first week of October I will be hosting a Christmas swap, with the location to be determined. I'm looking at a couple of locations, one of which might entail a small fee for each person participating in the swap. Be on the lookout for an Evite from me with all the details but go ahead and reserve the first Saturday in October for the swap. (I know, for those of us who are local it's Homburg flea market day but surely you can make it to the swap after shopping!)

*Lastly, is anyone in Ramstein looking to join a stamp club? I'm starting two new technique clubs in September, one hosted on the first Tuesday of each month and the other to be hosted on the third Sunday. Both are a six month commitment, with a $25.00 minimum order each month, and will feature two techniques per month with a technique box created in the first meeting to house all your new ideas. I've got a little bit of space in each one so let me know if you're interested!

This isn't a terribly exciting post so thanks for subjecting yourself to all my announcements. Hopefully I'll have some pics and projects for you this week. Until next time!
