HIMCR #310 - Any Holiday!

Happy Saturday!

I just got back yet again from travels! My son has decided to serve a mission for our church and will be heading off to Madagascar soon! We were in Utah this past week taking him to the temple and getting him clothes, bags, suitcases, and other things ready for his 2 year trip! :)

Other things we did while there were Extreme sports place, rock climbing, Thanksgiving Point, Salt Lake Temple Square and Conference Center!

My 7 beautiful children and my son in law on the roof of the LDS Salt Lake Conference Center!

 

 

On with this week's challenge!

Since it's a fourth Saturday the challenge is:

Design Team Member REQUIREMENTS

As a Hiding in My Craft Room design team member, you must submit one project per week using the specified challenge for that week. You will receive one month's worth of challenges at a time, at least two weeks before the challenge is posted. We have a HIMCR Design Team Private Blog which we are all administrators of! I will have a post on there and your submission for the week's challenge needs to be uploaded to our DT blog by noon on Friday of each week so that I'll have time to get the challenge post ready for Saturday morning at 8AM Central time!

You must have a current blog, posting at least once a week and once on the taem have the current week's Hiding in My Craft Room challenge posted each Saturday along with your creation linking back to the HIMCR challenge post. It is also asked that you leave comments on some of the entries submitted by participants of the HIMCR challenges.

You must display the Hiding in My Craft Room button on your blog. We also have a DT button! You can choose which one you want to use.

We have sponsors that offer us products to use and promote. You will be given images to work with! These might be images that are different from your crafting 'style'. You must be willing to work with sponsors' products. This promotes them and gives us free stuff to play and learn with! It is also expected that the HIMCR sponsor be mentioned within your post especially when using their products. :)

HIMCR Design Team term is for the challenges during the 6 months of August 2017 - January 2018.

We have a lot of fun! We have a HIMCR Facebook private group, as mentioned, where we get to know each other and can ask questions or just share! Here is where you will find upcoming challenges and other information. We truly become a team and more importantly friends!

If you have any questions please feel free! The quickest and easiest way it to contact me through the HIMCR Facebook fan page though a PM. The link is on the sidebar.

Thank you so much!

I look forward to seeing all your submissions!
