Just email me at heidi@freehandscraps.com with your address and I will get these Sonoma goodies off to you! Congratulations!!

Onto the next giveaway!! Since so many of you loved this giveaway, I have decided to do it again, and will be sending more of the Sonoma goodies to another lucky person. I will also have a few smaller prizes from Chatterbox's Eclectique line that I will pick 3 of you to win. Just leave a comment here on this post and tell me what your favorite memory from this summer was. (Who knows, depending on how many comments are left you may ALL get something? Not making any promises though.) And tomorrow I should have some sneak peeks to post of our upcoming September kit...it's so cute! I am still working on my gallery and have had so much fun using new products that I was totally unfamiliar with. I have had a blast!

It has been a rainy day here, and you can almost feel fall in the air. It seems just too soon to feel the crisp evening air, and to see a few of the leaves changing to bright yellow already. We are making the most of it and rented the movie "Nim's Island" to watch for family night. I may have to DVR a few of the Olympic events I will be missing, did anyone else see the beach volleyball match last night? Thrilling! I can't stand the anticipation though (maybe this is why I am NOT an Olympic athlete) I just get so nervous for them. To me it's like watching "your team" in the Superbowl every night!

Woah...a deer just walked directly past my window next to my computer. I think I scared her, because she took one look at me, stared me down, and then took off with her tail in the air. We are seeing a LOT of deer around lately. The corn is getting so tall, and they are getting plenty to eat you can tell. One of the perks of living here is all of the wildlife we see so often. When we moved here from the city, the kids would just go crazy if we saw a horse out the window in the car. So this has been such a treat for them. Hope you are having a wonderful day!

Our garden has been great for our family this year. Our 9 & 4 year old girls were great helpers with planting and tending, while we all enjoyed watching our 1 year old son eating dirt and making messes.
I really enjoy your blog, you inspire me!

Sounds like you had a wonderful time visiting your family--I'm so glad. My favorite part of the summer was just this last week when both kids and spouses and of course sweet little Olivia Grace spend LOTS of time at our house. That hasn't happened in several years, so we have been VERY happy.

I'm tempted to say yesterday, when the temp. dropped & the air smelled like fall was my favorite memory of this summer. But I also took a trip to Omaha to help friend move & loved the city! What a great place (and I'm coming from nyc for the last 7 years!).
Thanks for the giveaways,
Amy

Heidi, thanks for another giveaway. My favorite memory for this summer would be when my 3 month old painted colt came to live with us on our small farm. He lost his mamma so he came to live with us earlier then we expected. But what a joy he has been. Another good memory is that I have had the whole summer off. The first one in about 15 years.
You can see a picture of my Colt - Stormy on my blog..

Thanks,
Debxx

My favourite thing about summer is usually the long days so we can enjoy being out more !! We took a roadtrip to Greenville SC which surprisingly turned out more fun than i had expected & really a memorable trip !!
Thanks for the giveaways !!

Dee said...

Yay! another giveaway :) My favorite memories of this summer are all from our cottage - swimming, campfires, tons of storms coming over the lake, lots of and lots of friends and family out. Oh, and seeing all three kids beat their personal best times from last year on their summer swim team.

I'm so sad to see summer come to a close because we loved spending time as a family at the pool. Just playing and enjoying the summer sun!!!!

Lori said...

So fun to have all these giveaways! I'm also looking forward to seeing the sneak of next months kit! Favorite summer memory would have to be seeing my 2 year old in swimming lessons and just hanging out by the pool. It's got to be done when you live in the hot desert!

Brianna said...

My favorite memory this summer is sitting outside in the backyard watching my son in the kiddie pool. It's our first summer in our first house and we just love having a backyard!

More goodies! My favorite memory of the summer has to be my 6 month old niece's first time in the pool. We had her so lathered up with suncreen, her strap on sunglasses, a sun hat, and her bikini. So many great photos from that day to scrap!

Congrats to the winner. A little jealous but glad to have another chance. Favorite summer stuff--farmers markets, flowers in my garden, and my boy loving the water at the beach

Bibi said...

How awesome to have a deer right outside your window!! Awwwww... I'm jealous! All I have ouside my window is a bajillion mosquitoes. Well, my fave. summer memory is my lil' girl turning 1. She looked adorable in her cute pink dress and crochet flower barrette I made her. She's growing up way too fast for me.

Heidi,
This summer has really flown by. I would say what I enjoyed most was 6weeks at the pool for swimming lessons. It's always a joy to watch the little ones learn to swim. I also loved reconnecting with family that lives close by (or not so much anymore;)and yet we never see each other. Those are my Favorites of the summer.
Talk soon,
Jen
