An accouncement and our sketch!!!

I had some sad news to announce. After this challenge I will not be running this blog, until I have the time to dedicate the time to it that it and you deserve.  It saddens me that I cannot visit the blogs of the ladies who enter our challenges, and because I cannot give this the attention you all deserve, I will not be running our challenges until I can give it the proper attention. I have so very much enjoyed looking at your work, and hearing your stories. Thank you all so much for the lovely memories!! I hope to sometime soon find a bit of time to scrapbook myself (I haven't for ages), and to join you in some other lovely challenge blogs. Be kind to each other, encourage each other, and enjoy your scrapbooking memories!!

Here is our sketch for this month:

1 june 2013 prompt challenge - a proposal for you!!!

This month's prompt is:

How did your spouse propose to you? Where? How did you propose to your spouse? If this has never happened to you ‐ how did you dream it would? Or did you ever want that to happen to you?

Some of our ladies had some difficulty with this prompt, and we invite you to interpret the general theme in the way you would like to tell this story!!! You never have to interpret our challenges absolutely literally!!
