Gosh, the school hols is usually a time to 'chill out' & 'kick back'; but not for us i'm afraid, thing have just been so busy .... not necessarily any one thing in particular ... just BUSY !
One of the good busy things i have been doing is scrapbooking ...
This month at SnB is Christmas in July ... so, lots of activities, giveaways, challenges etc.
This month's SCRAP YOUR STASH is a 'blast from the past' creating embellishments with 'paper piecing' ... here is my example LO
Last night was the CC with lots of fun challenges & games ... here was my LO for the free sketch workshop
a shameless plug here ...
coming up on 19th August i am hosting a 3 layout "DUDE WORKSHOP" ... the products in this kit are totally scrumptious to create with ...
check it out HERE
On a different note ... the weather has been getting quite cool here and even better, very cold down south which means plenty of snow .... in 6 weeks we set off for our annual snow trip with a group of 26 .... we always look forward to this, we are lucky to have such a great group of friends and sooo much fun every year(which seems to come around soooo quickly). This year whilst we count down to our snow trip that means also counting down to our USA trip .... just 10 weeks to go ... i am feeling slightly excited !!!
Last but not least .... all this Christmas in July activiy this month has prompted a RAK ... yep, i'm in the mood to send someone a present .... don't know about you, but i loooove pressies he he !! Just leave me a comment (cause it's nice to know you still visit even though i've been a really bad blogger!!) by midnight July 31.
Hope you've had a great weekend, have a great week,
Keep Smiling :O)

Welcome back to to Blogland Julie, so good to hear from you. Wow!!!!!! both your layouts are gorgeous... cute paper piecing and I love the effect with the stapled ribbon looks fantastic.
I can't believe you US trip is just around the corner, I remember when you booked it, it seemed like the trip was so far away.
Have a great week
