will have a few more scooting in at the last minute too!!  THANK YOU

everyone for your continued LOVE & SUPPORT of Scrap Around The World.

We are well into our 2nd year now & I have to say it has been an incredible

journey for me so far!  I have learnt SO MUCH & it has been such a struggle

& SO REWARDING!!  Does that make sense?!  Well if you are a mother you

will know what I mean.  SATW is my baby ♥

I know many, many people are away enjoying the SUNSHINE & who wouldn't be?!

BUT if you have some supplies with you I hope you will try to enter!!  As usual

we have our wonderful sponsors all back with us for another month & prizes

are always aplenty here, not to mention a NEW DESIGN TEAM!!

Well there are plenty oldies still here but we have said goodbye to some of 

our ladies & we are welcoming in some new ones too {1/3 of our team}

So we will have an EXTRA POST here this month on the 4th, to 

officially announce our new ambassadors!  HOW EXCITING!!

AS USUAL I ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO PLEASE SIGN UP AS AN OFFICIAL 

FOLLOWER on our gadget above {which you can find close to the top of our

 left-hand side sidebar} in order to be ELIGIBLE TO WIN OUR PRIZES - 

INCLUDING our new FOLLOWERS' PRIZE - kindly sponsored EVERY

Here is the lovely lady herself, with some more to say about herself.

Before she does I would just like to mention here that Pam is a very active

 & important member here at SATW.  She plays a vital role in keeping everyone

 on their toes by checking on all we do & reminding us if anyone has forgotten 

anything.  She is also our COMMENT WARRIOR & has commented on EVERY

entry since she joined the team even though she does not have to!! We ♥ you Pam!!
