  8. Hello ladies! I just adore everyone of these Meljen images! Thank you, Melissa, for sponsoring us this week! Sharon, what a fabulous post. We always appreciate our DT who help us out so much here at SSW! Congrats to our winners again this week! We love seeing all the fabulous cards each week and gaining inspiration from you! Thanks so much for your support. Now a few weeks ago I mentioned my son was summitting Denali in Alaska. We just receive a phone call last night that all is well with him and his two climbing companions. They made it to the top in seven days with unbelieveable weather that was on their side...only 20 mph winds. I can hardly wait to hear his story and to see his photos as he is a professional photographer as well as a mountaineer. Well, I wish all of you a great week accomplishing and creating the things you want to do.
    Hugs, Judi
