Welcome back to Sally's Angelworks!!!

I've been hibernating!! Not really. But I have been honing some much-needed skills to keep this blog a fresh and inspirational place! I'm super excited to share with you all about my refreshing experiences lately, but first…

let's pick a winner for my two charm packs of 25th and Pine…

Everyone who posted a comment to any of the Merry and Bright August posts was entered into the random drawing! Random.Org picked a winner…

Sandy K!!!! 

Yay!!! Watch that mailbox, Sandy!!! 

So, you didn't win?

Go grab yourself a piece of your favorite chocolate, and make it dark since dark chocolate is very good for you, AND get ready to get a guaranteed charm pack!!!

Create something using this little pattern by October 1st, and I will send you a Pedal Pushers charm pack for sure!! Who says you have to quilt for free? You are earning it, baby!!!

{these are my Pedal Pusher Clam Shells…You'll receive the 5" charm pack~ for free!!!}

You can change your word to something else and use whatever fabric you want! It would be fun to have a Christmassy theme, but I tell you what; I'm not holding you to that! 

I'll have a post on October 1st that you can link to. It'll be fun! Like a party! Can't wait to see what you do!!!!

So, a quick moment to tell you about some of the stuff I got and learned this last week at Find Your Lula! It was the most magical experience!!!! 

This picture above was one of my favorites of the photos I took on a rented Canon 6D on the manual setting. Manual has been extremely intimidating for me, but with a photography expert teacher next to me (Kristen Pack), I felt more able to experiment and fail and succeed. And that, my friends, was really what Lula was all about! Learning in a safe environment and expanding my creative voice!!!

We learned so much!!! and I still have a lot to learn and to practice! I have so much swimming in my head right now, and the next part is processing it…just like you process your pictures/film in photography! 

Thanks for being here while I process out loud! LOL!!!

Here's some of the loot we got last week!

This book is my Smashbook. It's a book with a lot of open space for you to do whatever you want to with it!!! We took notes, put pictures in it, documented processes in Illustrator and photography and just good business practices…

I also had a #selfieswithsally page! (Check out my instagram feed for that snapshot! LOL!)

Just a few examples of the inside of my smashbook!

Fun resource of awesome knowledge I gained at Find Your Lula!

I'll pontificate more about it a bit later! You'll want to stay tuned for that! So inspirational!!!!

My Make-O-Meter is on the rise again, so stay tuned for some super fun inspiration!! 

BTW, how are your Christmas gifts coming along??? I'm still making my list and checking it twice!!

Blessings!!
