Week #16 - 'Popsicles and Pinwheels' WINNERS!

What a quick week last week was here in the Tea Room!  So many fabulous 'Popsicles and Pinwheels' projects submitted ... you made it very difficult to choose -- all the projects were wonderful!  We sincerly do appreciate all your creative efforts, inspiration and eye candy for us all to savor each week in the Tea Room :)  Weren't these bright and bold colors so much fun to create with?!?!

70 AMAZING submissions and 510 fabulous followers to date.  We're tickled {pink} that you all enjoy this shabby little bloggity site :)

I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable 4th of July for those that celebrate the holiday here in the US!  We had a beautiful weekend ... plenty of family time, boating out on the lake, BBQ's, visits with friends, fireworks displays (professional and at home) and lots of R & R.  Couldn't get much better than that!

Thank you to our WONDERFUL GUEST DESIGNER, DEBBIE OLSON, for sharing one of her lovely creations with us all this week in the Tea Room!

A special thanks to our SPONSOR, COSMO CRICKET, for partnering up with us periodically and sharing some of their fabulous products with our Tea Room followers - yum :)

A bit of housekeeping ... we will be leaving this Friday for our annual family trip to the beach and I am not sure what, if any, internet connections I will have available at the condo we are renting for the week.  If I do not get around to commening on your precious submissions from Friday through Tuesday, please forgive me.  I'll catch up with you when I return home!  Also, due to me being away from my computer from Friday through Tuesday, I cannot guarantee that the winners will be announced Monday morning as usual.  It might have to wait until Wednesday for me to return home and be back at my computer.  I will pre-post the #18 challenge for you all to get started with while I am away.  In the meantime, the other shabby girls will be holding down the fort!

Thanks for your patience with me while I sneak away for a well-deserved vacation with my family :)  We are very much looking forward to getting away from work and commitments to share some quality time with our boys before they both leave for college the middle of August!
