A couple of really fun things coming up here. First off, mark your calendars for August 4th! This is the release date of Tara Frey's book Blogging for Bliss. I am so excited to be a part of this book with so many other bloggers! I will be hosting a blog party here on my blog on August 4th along with our fearless leader, Tara Frey, and hopefully with all those involved in the book. Check back for more details on how everyone in blogland can participate!!

I know it's waaaay early and I'm not wishing the summer away by any means, but I've already gotten some inquiries about how the Sweet and Sinister swap is going to work this year. Last year I announced the swap and private blog in July and had a huge response, so I guess people are getting in the mood again!
The Year of Color blog is going strong, so rather than adding a whole other blog, that is where all the Halloween action will take place. I will be announcing the Halloween swap and taking sign-ups in August.** You must be a member of the Year of Color blog to participate in the Sweet and Sinister swap.** If you sign up now, you'll be all set to register for the swap and besides you'll have access to the archives which began January 1st. This month we've already had an amazing striped project tutorial with our guest designer, Katie Runnels with tons more to come!
Regarding all of the wonderful Halloween tutorials leading up to the big day, we will have plenty. Our guest designer for September is the wonderful Kerry Lynn Yeary with a orange/copper theme and then in October, Candice Carpenter with a black and white theme. There will also be many more Autumn and Halloween projects peppered in by many other talented folks for loads of inspiration. So that's the scoop for anyone already feeling a little tug of Halloween planning. BTW- This was my display last year, no I haven't gotten my Halloween stuff out yet!!

Hi Kari,
Thank you for the invite to the B4B party and count me in too. I'm not sure what I need to do (make deviled eggs?)... but I definitely want to be a part of the festivities.
Looking forward to the Blogging for Bliss Party! Just did a post on my blog to announce it! Thanks for throwing this for us...the only thing better would be to have us all together in one big hotel! xo Alys
