3rd annual YOE


"A Year of Enchantment III" has arrived and after tallying all the votes, the theme is STORYBOOK!

We will have an entire YEAR of being artsy, craftsy, and otherwise beautifully entwined in a storybook wonderland. Although we will NOT have monthly swaps, I will be hosting theme related swaps throughout the year.

Take a walk with me as we revisit our favorite characters.
Take a moment to create something beautiful FOR. YOUR. SELF.
Take your children on outings inspired by the theme; maybe to feed the birds or to drop a toy along the way throughout the year.
Take yourself to the library and re-read the story from each month's theme. Those of you with children will cherish this time together.
Take this opportunity to de-stash your craft closet.

And just think....if you choose to play along, you will end up with a minimum of 12 ornaments for your Christmas Tree!

Don't forget.....you are part of this.....you can post what you did with the theme; tutorials, recipes, crafts to inspire the rest of us! (Last year I mainly posted and that is BORING! I need you all to post too!) I'll announce the first month's theme soon!

So for now, grab a badge and spread the word!
Tell your artsy/craftsy friends to stop by and join us, the more people we have playing along, the more inspiration we will have here.

Be sure to leave a comment here with your link or email me at valpowery(at)yahoo(dot)com with your info. That way, I can put you on the sidebar and send you an invitation to post on the blog.

As a retired teacher and for the last 8 yrs of my career as a Literacy Coach/Specialist, how could I say NO to this?? I had agreed to not join anymore swaps because my plate was full but I couldn't resist anything having to do with children's literature!! I keep my 3 yr. old grandson so this will be perfect! I have no idea what all I'm signing up for but I'm in!!
Warm New Year's Blessings
