Summer Break!!

Hello everyone-

Sorry this post and the winners are coming up rather tardy lately. 

I recently got married and with all the wedding responsibilities, I fell really behind on all of my crafting commitments and responsibilities.  So I really am sorry about that.  Life moves so quickly. 

The Sentimental Sundays team and I, will all be on a short 2 week Summer break.  We originally planned to be off for 1 week, but do to an accident I recently had in my backyard, I have to extended it to 2 weeks.  I fell really hard the other day on some loose gravel we have in the backboard and landed rather awkwardly.  So I have to go get checked out and see what is to be done.

I need to do some housecleaning on the blog too...We have to say goodbyes and hellos, for the second term.  It will be fun!!  We already have our sponsors lined up and we are really excited to have you come back and join us!!

We hope that you all are enjoying your Summer and we will see you back in 2 weeks. 

Big HUGS!!!

Introducing the Sentimental Sundays Design Team!

Thank you to those who applied! There's so much talent out there and I am humbled that you wanted to join the team.  Even though I tried to narrow it down as much as I could, I didn't do a very good job (as you can see from the long list below).  I thoroughly enjoyed visiting all your blogs and galleries and reading your emails.  I wish I could bring everyone on board, but I would be spending the entire weekend adding samples into the blog post, lol.  As a thank you to all those who applied and also to those who follow the blog, please scroll down for a freebie sentiment set.

So, without further ado, it is my great pleasure to introduce you to the Sentimental Sundays Design Team:

Sentimental Sundays Challenges will launch on April 18th! Come play along

Hello everyone!

Well, I've finally taken the plunge and started my own challenge blog.  For those who know me, you know that I have this teeny tiny thing about challenges - I absolutely love them!  This challenge blog focuses on sentiments: short, long, funny, serious, quirky, religious, seasonal, original, classic - pretty much any type of sentiment you can think of!

This blog is for fun!  Although there's a possibility that we will have sponsors in the future, including me giving away some digital sentiments from the Whimsy Stamps Digital Collection (releasing April 12), this blog is just mainly to challenge you to use words to enhance your cards, scrapbook pages, altered items, and other things that you create.  For weeks that a prize is offered, your creation must be entered into the InLinkz widget before the start of the next challenge (usually around 12:01 AM EST on Sundays unless I'm running late).

Thank you for stopping by and for your interest in the Sentimental Sundays Challenge blog as well as in the power of words.  And so I leave you with this quote...

"But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
Falling like dew, upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think."
- George Gordon Byron
