you know what? time is a crazy thing! it's so strange to think summer is officially over already. what was your favorite summer memory this year? tell us in a comment below!!
we've been caught up in a whirlwind of mystery boxes, fun projects coming in, and the arrival of new products. that's right, new products!!
the mystery box sale was loads of fun. boxes are all sold out, (the last few are in today's mail!) so hopefully you got yours...and will share your projects with us the moment you can!!
speaking of sharing projects, checking the inbox at projectstoshare@sassafraslass.com has been our favorite pastime as of late. soooo many amazing creations to show you!!! the precious card at the top up there is the latest from miss Lilibee, aka Leila Bentahar, using one of my favorite papers in the entire universe...plus my pals
from the Count Me In collection. if you think that's cute, wait till you see the inside!:
...and look at what we found over at These Are a Few of My Favorite Things challenge blog. we just adore every detail on this charming birdhouse. thanks for the sassafras love Mirjam!:
this next project landed in our mailbox care of Yin...it's an indie girl and cherry delicious delight. are you in love with her flower cut-outs from the sapphire paper? so cute!:
i first posted this coming from larissa albernaz on accident....oops! this stunning layout was created by megan klauer. she used some cut seamstress bouquet paper whimsies and a bright red in a stitch blossom:
did i mention we have new product?! not only are we receiving some awesome embellishments that you've all been looking forward to....entwined blooms and vintage brooches!...but we are introducing four new skus, never-before-seen. and they are suuuuuuper cool. new designed mini alphas, the perfect little 3/4" size for cards, long titles, etc.
you probably remember these goodies from our sneak peek a little while back, but take a look-see again. they're to die for. you'll be wanting to ask your favorite lss to get these in stock before they're gone!
that's it for now friends...don't forget to leave us a comment about your favorite summer memory!!
My favorite summer memory this year was being in one of my best friends weddings. It was so beautiful and I was so honored to be a part of it!

Here in FL we have an extended summer, it's not quite fall yet... But my favorite summer memory will be spending the weekends in our backyard pool. We enjoyed it so much we decided to finally spend the money and have it refinished. It truly deserved it will be finished for our last pool party of the season - this weekend!

Great projects, and I can't wait until those new products hit my store!!
The thing I love most about summer is simply lazy afternoons outside watching the kids run around and play.

Well my favorite summer memory from this year was the birth of my daughter on 7/21! I was excited not only to add another member to my family, but also to be able to buy all the cutesy girly collections out there! My son has outgrown cutesy!

I had sooo many summer memories from this year. I traveled to Dallas, Denver, Oregon, and Seattle in 3 months' time! So there were lots of good memories to scrap so I can remember every detail. My favorite one? Probably driving to the Oregon coast with my brother and his girlfriend. We (my brother and I) grew up in separate states, so we've had few chances to really spend "quality" time with each other. I am glad I got the chance to spend so much time with him during our road trip.
