Happy Wednesday y'all!
I hope you are all having a wonderful week. We signed our lease this week which means we will be moving into our apartment next week.
I am so excited and so ready.
Another exciting thing? I'm headed to check my mail where I'm HOPING I will find some Project Life items I ordered and some photos from PostalPix. I'm ready to SCRAP!
What are you up to today?
I have some fun giveaways to share with you, so I hope you are in the mood for some eye candy!
Spotlight and Giveaway #1-
I'm so honored to be a part of my friend Jill's new class at Two Peas in a Bucket.
It's called Scrapbooking from the Soul. Here's a little blurb:
As scrapbookers, we do not document life as passive observers -- we have
the power to make meaning, sharing what matters in ways that matter.
Join Garden Girl Jill Sprott
for Scrapbooking from the Soul, a workshop that explores ways to
embrace the “soul scrapper” within and infuse pages with layers of
meaning.
In this workshop, Jill shares a variety of approaches and strategies for
how to become more invested in creating layouts that feel authentic to
you as well as authentically you. The workshop emphasizes in particular
the role that journaling plays in enhancing meaning and contributing to a
sense of unity.
If you'd like to win a free spot in this class, leave a comment here and I will announce a winner with my next Sponsor Giveaway on August 13.
Spotlight and Giveaway #2-
Aimee Asher Boutique is an online store that sells downloadable products for crafters, scrapbookers, cardmakers and the like. We provide topnotch products from wonderful artists and designers that include clipart, backgrounds and hand painted graphics to printable products such as greeting cards, gift boxes, bags and many other items including scrapbooking.
We recognize the need of crafters that want to create products that allow them to achieve a professional looking product with the ability to add their own special touches to their creations. We help crafters achieve this through digital, downloadable items.
The store often has free items available for crafters to download...this allows them to try out different artists and designers products as well as try out new or different techniques. Should the customer want their product delivered by CD, we offer that service as well. We also have many teacher resources!
One lucky reader will win any one item in the shop. The choice is yours!
If you would like to win either of these giveaways, leave a comment here. The winners will be announced with my next Sponsor Spotlight on August 13.
Good luck!

Sounds a great opportunity. Would love the chance of a place on the class.
Just been catching up with your adventures. You sound like you are in the right place mentally for the place you are physically. Do try to slow down, that way you can enjoy everything longer :-)

And what am I up to today? Nothing much. Just bought two schoolbags on Marktplaats for my twins, who will be going to secondary school in 2 weeks time. Marktplaats is a secondhand trade spot where you can buy and sell your things to fellow bargain hunters. My girls are quite apt at getting fashion things for scratch, never mind them being second-hand! They bought a PIP bag and a Cotton Candy one. I think you will like the PIP collection as well, lots of birds and flowers and the odd ballerina. As a mother, I am a bit worried about the big change that is ahead of them, though!
