Playing Catch Up, AWARDS for Blends, and more DIVA introductions

Heya to all of my lovely Blends!

I am so sorry that I have been a bit invisible lately.  Life grabbed a hold of me for the last several days.  I played catch up with work that was desperately needed in my massive yard (weeds, flowers, more weeds, more flowers), housework (which never ends, right?), and my kids spent 3 days in their little kiddy pool...best $13.00 I ever spent!  LOL!  That required a lot of time changing wet clothes to dry clothes, extra baths, and getting all the sunscreen washed off.  I really haven't been feeling the greatest lately either.  I keep having these stupid tired spells.  The only way to keep my mind off of laying down all day was to stay outside in the sun.  We got a lot accomplished and I am happy for that.  The yard is just about finished and we will be ready to start preparing for McKenzie's Sweet 16 Birthday Bash.  But I was really missing all of my lovely followers and friends.  I needed to catch up on Challenges, Blog Posts, CSDivas' duties and responsibilities, and getting a LOT of thank you messages sent out.

First, I want to say thank you to all of you who had a chance to stop by for our first ever CSDivas Divalicious Christmas in July Blog Hop on Saturday.  It was a pleasure to read all of the lovely comments!  If you didn't get your project in, there is still a bit of time left.  Be sure to stop by the blog and enter your project before 7:00 p.m. EST tonight!

Secondly, did you get the chance to meet all of the Divas Design Team?  If not, the Diva DT Introductions are all posted at the site and each DT has posted a bio to tell you a bit more about themselves and the Theme/Group they will be in charge of at the Mansion.  Make sure you stop over and get to know the Wonderful Design Team: Yolie, Vanessa, Luisa, Sandy, Pam, Jessica (that's me LOL), and AleciaStephanie will be posting her bio tomorrow, so be sure to watch for that as well.  You will definitely want to become a follower and stay tuned for some AWESOME tutorials, tips, challenges, prizes, and more.

Finally, I received a lot of Awards and want to get the proper thank you(s) sent to my wonderful Blends for thinking of me.  I am very honored that I have had the chance to get to know you all and to be a follower of your blogs in return.  It is delightful to read and share ideas.
