WOW, is August almost over!!??. I'm sure that all of you are getting 'back to school' these days. We hope you are enjoying the end of summer and we look forward to seeing what you're up to as the fall season approaches.
There was so much interest for an August kit that we wanted to give one away. Some of the latest/greatest CHA Summer goodies are in these kits. And let me tell you, they are fabulous.
Please leave a comment on this post stating what your favorite summer activity was this year. A winner will be chosen on Monday. Deadline: 10pm MST. Good luck!
Stay tuned as we wrap up the month of August and get ready for the fall season.
Creative cheers,





















My favorite summer activity was spending time with my grandson who was out of school. He lives in another state and I don't get to see him much during the school year so I love the summertimes we spend together.

OH my gosh, I want this kit SO SO BAD!!!
My favorite summer activites were spending time with my daughter before she started kindergarten (on Wednesday). They grow up so fast and I am cherishing all the moments I spend with her.
She also found a love of SCRAPBOOKING (yay!), so we enjoyed crafting and creating together.
Thank you so much for the chance to win!!
Happy Friday!

My fav activity this summer....not having to wake up with the chickens to get a kiddo ready for preschool with two more toddlers in tow!

Staying inside in the a/c...it was too hot outside this year to do anything but stay indoors and make art! xo

My favourite summer activity was doing two movie marathons with great friends. Thanks to cheap Tuesday's, we saw 8 movies in two days. Also, because I can't pick just one, getting creative with my crafty friends and exploring my 'artsy' side in our art journal swap.

My favorite activity was just getting to spend time with my family. My husband was able to take some time off this summer, so we actually got to do things...I would have to say our absolute favorite was just relaxing by the water fishing. Thanks for the chance! :)

What a fabulous give away! My favorite summer activity is tennis. I still play throughout the winter, but I have to play indoors. I much prefer to soak up the sun! Cheers!

My favorite summer activity is just having my kidlets home with me all summer. We spent most days at the pool.

My favorite activities this summer were making mixed media art and reading! We made a huge move and once we were "functional" I went on strike and painted and read and I loved it!! Time to get some motivation though!!! :D

We went to Hershey Park and made our own chocolate bars! YUM! Thanks for a great giveaway!

To hot in Louisiana for much summertime activity, so a lot of my time was spent inside working on my art, She Art...is one of the classes I took. So finding a new direction for my art, is my highlight.

Wow! I love that photo and how it is framed! My favorite summer activity was getting even a few minutes to spend with my husband and daughters! My teenagers are BUSY all summer long with summer school and marching band, so I truly treasured days or evenings when we could all be together, even if it was just hanging out and watching a movie at home eating pizza!! Thank you for a chance to win!! :)

My fav summer activity was watching my girls dance in the sprinklers. It reminded me of when I was little and just pure innocence in that something so mundane and functional could be SO fun. We also enjoyed coloring on sidewalks and riding bikes this year.

My favorite summer activity was our family road trip! We drove over 3,500 miles in our SUV with our two children, ages 5 and 2 1/2! We were on the road for 4 weeks - but it was great! We saw so many amazing things, and created so many great memories - I need to scrap them, and this give away would be perfect!

We love going to the beach with the kids boogie boards. Though it is hard to remember what warmth is right now as we are still experiencing winter cold in Australia. Bring on summer!

The best part of my summer was not having to go to the job that sucked the life out of me, our annual family vacations with siblings and kids, and swimming at the lake which makes my body feel great.

My favorite summer activity was spending 5 days in Colorado attending Rockies games and visiting with family.
Would love to play with your beautiful kit! Thanks for a chance to win!

We volunteered more for Cheyenne Frontier Days this summer... one of the biggest highlights was getting to ride with my three girls on a carriage in one of the parades, fully outfitted in period costume : ) It was a blast.

My fav this summer was doing SheArt Canvases and your other Color workshop. Sure could use some more goodies. Thanks for the chance

My favorite activity was taking the She Art class and then my daughters both wanting to make them...and we did and still do. We all spending time creating together and staying out of 100+ degrees. :)

My favorite activity was hanging out at 10yr old baseball games all summer! We had a blast watching kids who know how to play the game but don't really have raging hormones yet! Great attitudes and great baseball. Fun. Fun. Fun.

Had a wonderful time with my husband visiting McCall Idaho! Simply enjoyed the weather golfing, walking the sweet little town, and sitting near the lake reading our Kindles :)
