Hi everyone!  Thanks so much for playing along with SATW in August!!

We finished on a very respectable 88 entries in the quietest month online

 {European Summer!!}  Marilyn's beautiful mood board (above) brought out 

THE BEST IN EVERYONE!!!  Selecting 10 Wall of Famers this month was

 the most difficult it has EVER been around here!  But...there are tougher

jobs out there than going through dozens of INCREDIBLE ARTWORKS

month after month & we at SATW are feeling super inspired thanks to YOU!

PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW THE RULES FOR A CHANCE TO BE FEATURED.

We do not accept cards or Off-the-Page items & we ask that you please provide

YOUR NAME & COUNTRY so that we have those details to mention if you are

a prize winner, for our Winners' Post & Wall of Fame or to list you in our

 Honourable Mentions.  We also need to SEE your layout so you need
