Challenge #187 - Harvest Time

Wow!  The last day of September and time for my BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!  (Drum Roll, please)  October is going to be a month to remember in crafting blog land.  There will be lots of fun things to do around here - a "guess who this is" contest, a Halloween trivia week, a "jumbled word blog hop" and a week where no cards are allowed.  October and Halloween are my favourite times of the year so I figured why not let everyone have some fun.  And it all starts next Tuesday - I CANNOT WAIT!!!
Just to get you into the mood, you might want to visit Kaylin's blog for a Halloween sneak peek...

Now for the top 3 from Challenge #185.....
Here they are (in no particular order)

Great job, designers!  I know I am inspired and I am sure our followers are as well.

Now, another sad piece of business.  Amy is leaving our team.  She has been an amazing member and we will miss her a lot.  I hope to see her back someday when her life allows.  A big hug, Amy, and best wishes!

Challenge #186 -Trees And Leaves

Good morning!
Let's start off with some sad news and some happy news.  First the happy.......Claire is coming back and I am thrilled to bits.  She has a beautiful, lyrical style and I have missed her terribly.  Welcome back!
Now for the sad.....and I really mean "sad".  When I heard this, tears came to my eyes.  Tanya will be leaving us.  She is the last of my original team and I will miss her in every way.  She and I met before this site was started and I hope to someday meet her in person.  Please, if you feel inclined, please click on her photo in the column to the right and extend your best wishes.  I know she will appreciate it.
