I just noticed that I'm getting close to 1000 hits on my blog! I'm very excited, since I didn't know if anyone would even bother to look at my blog, and now so many of you have been checking it out! Thank you so much for takin
g the time to look and to leave comments. I appreciate the encouragement.So to celebrate, I will be giving away some blog candy! I've been trying to figure out what would be a good thing to give for this, and I'm stumped! I don't have a lot of unopened supplies, so I can't really give that right now. I think it will probably be some hand-made cards (maybe a pouch of cards using some of SU!'s new designer paper). Anyway, if you'd like to win some free stuff, leave a comment for me and tell me what your favourite thing about summer is. I'll do a random draw next Wednesday for the prize, so make sure you post a comment by then.
Edited to add photos and the following:
I've decided what the blog candy is! I've made this pouch of cards using the Brocade Background paper and the Baroque Motifs set. The pouch is made using a 6 x 6 scrapbook page protector with the ring holes cut off. Then I added an insert and dry embossed on the flap. There are six cards with decorated envelopes in the pouch. I hope you like it!
Remember you have until Wednesday night to add a comment telling me what you like about summer for a chance to win. I'll randomly select a person on Thursday morning and post the winner that day. Good luck!

Hi Shannon!
Thanks for visiting my blog and tagging me today! I've got to say, you have the cutest boys.
My favorite thing about summer is BBQs! We get more than our fair share of rain here so when we can cook outdoors, it's pure heaven.
Hello! I'm a new blogger too. It is fun to see people visit, isn't it? My fav. thing about summer is going swimming! I love to relax all day in the sun and then swim in my parent's pool! Thanks!

My favourite thing about summer is being at home with my family (I'm a university student). A close second is swimming.
Going to the pool! The kids and I love splashing around.
Well, being a teacher my fave thing about summer is getting the chance to travel, read, and relax (about the only thing I have done this summer though is travel!)
I don't know if I can choose one thing that is my favorite about summer, so I'll give you a few things. I love fresh fruits and veggies, having a yard sale, long sunny days, vacation, an ice cold beer on a hot day and celebrating our anniversary and my birthday.
My favorite thing about summer is getting to hang out with friends and family.
My favorite thing about summer is being with my family and the BBQ's... YUMMY!!!!
Hi!
My favorite thing about summer is being off work! Now, don't get me wrong, I love my job...but 2 months off is just awesome! I work at an elementary school with special needs kids. It's really great to have the time to recharge my batteries and spend some time with my family.
Hope you're having a great summer!

My favorite thing about summer is all the fresh, local produce. Strawberries, blueberries, corn, tomatoes, etc. all picked from the garden and onto the table. So delicious! Thanks for offering blog candy!
Love your blog Shannon!!
My favorite thing about summer is going camping...I love to sit around the camp fire roasting marshmallows and weiners and fighting with the mosquitos (LOL),I also bring my scrapbooking out there so it's so nice and relaxing! We always invite people over so that's lots of fun as well,the boys go 4 wheeling and us girls stamp till we cramp!!
Enjoy your summer Shannon!
My favorite part of summer is everything is green. The kids can play outside and my DH is delighted with his veg. garden. If hes happy...I'm happy!
Your children would be a great give away! LOL! They sure look like a couple cuties! I have 8 grandkids and I love them all to death. They have made life just plain funny...they make you laugh.
The thing I like about summer, is everything is more relaxed, the hanging out with friends and family.
Favorite thing about summer is the long days. Love that it stays light out until late evening.
Hello, my favourite thing about summer is... just to enjoy the outdoors, gardening and seeing how everything grows.
My favorite thing about summer, besides the warmth, is the colors of summer. I much prefer the color green to the drab browns and leafless trees of winter. Maybe that's why I like so much color in my card making. :)

Sorry I was all caught up in reading your material that I forgot to leave you with one of my comments what I like about summer is my birthday, my anniversary, and hearing the kid's play and get along outside in the pool. Also, we love to eat my homemade chocolate ice cream cookies!! I can't make them fast enough!
My favorite thing about summer is the heat and humidity-honest! I love it!!
Congrats to you! Keep up the great work.
My fave thing about summer? Right now? Well it's that my husband has taken the summer off work. We have him home everyday! Can't ask for more than that.
Hi Shannon =) Thanks for the blog candy, I would love to win a handmade card from you! My favorite thing about summer is all of the delicious fruits that are in season. They are the perfect healthy dessert!

Hi! I love summer ... period. :) And why? BBQs, outside play without coats, chasing my toddler around her baby pool, and ice cream cones! Mmm! :)
I love summer because I can sleep in!! I don't have to get kids ready for school. I also like that we can swim everyday! It is too hot in Texas to do too much outside unless you are wet!!
My favorite thing about summer, hands down, is the beach. My family (Mom, Dad, and 2 sisters)has vacationed at Sea Isle City, NJ every year (since I've been born) and we continue the tradition even now that we all have families of our own. It's so much fun to have a sleep-over with all of my neices and nephews for one week straight. They love it too!
Hi Shannon!
My favorite thing about summer is spending the hot days in the pool with my daughyter who is just a little fish. :o)

Hello! 1000 visitors is exciting! I have a new blog too, it's very fun!
My favorite thing about summer is when it's over. I live in Arizona and it was 125 degrees one day last week! November 1st is the first day of cooler weather around here. Can't wait!
Thanks for sharing your creative work! Right now, my favorite thing about summer is visiting my family with my 2 young kids. Unfortunately, that means I have to endure Texas' hot & humid weather, but we beat it today with a visit to the pool! The kids loved it!
I love that we have longer days in summer...I always wake up early in the summer just so I can have more time to myself!
Hi Shannon, Thank you for stopping by my blog last night for a chance to win my primas. What I love about summer is all the fresh vegetables and you can cook out on the grill every night that you don't have to be stuck in the kitchen. Thanks for giving me a chance to win. Oh, by the way I love your web blg site. You have some great things. TFS! Penny
Hi Shannon...Gosh, I'm so impressed with your cards that I'm adding you to my favorites. I love spending a day at the lake with my grandkiddies the most in the summer. Thanks for offering blog candy.
I am am also a teacher so I love EVERYTHING about summer, but especially not having to plan, plan, plan!
My favorite thing about summer is all the fresh fruit and veggies that are available! I just love Summer!!!
I love driving to the orchards and picking cherries or strawberries with the family. But our weekend camp trips are what I enjoy the most.
Enjoying a break from college & working in a job that I love. Oh and hanging with my boyfriend and other friends.
Hi Shannon - congrats on your successful new blog. Hope you are having a fun summer. I'm enjoying our air conditioning and sipping iced tea on the patio.
I just found your site this morning (7/16/07). What wonderful projects! I love sunshine and being able to be outside in summer. I enjoy my patio, all the flowers and the kick back lifestyle that summer affords.
