Awesome Life Friday #25

Happy Independence Day Weekend, everyone!  I hope everyone enjoys some good food, good times and good friends! To kick it off, it's time for the Awesome Life Friday party - we look forward to seeing what you have to share with us this time!

So many of our team are currently on vacation or moving, or both, so real life has kept us all very busy!  But we managed a few posts for you. Here's what we've been up to this week:


Are you curious about The Keeper? Aurora explains what it is, how it works and why it's a great idea - and if you'd like to give it a risk-free try, we've got a great giveaway for you! 

Lynda checks in on her progress with the 120 Days Challenge - the past few weeks prooved to be a bit more challenging than expected, but that can be a teachable experience, too.

Lynda also introduces us to a great Etsy shop that specializes in B-Movie and pop culture cross-stitch designs and finished stitchery with a twist. Our Giveaway will send one unique sampler of the winner's choice off to a happy home - might it be yours??


If you were FEATURED, this button is for you!
