Greetings everyone!! I�m Carlene (Chatterbox-1), and I will be starting this week�s FAVORITES Thread, which will be coming to you from beautiful and sunny western Washington�yes that would be NO rain! Summer started early this year, and we even had a dry July 4th! In 35 years, I think I�ve experience four without rain!
About this thread: The FAVORITES thread is a way to give recognition to some of the standout creations shared by you in our SCS Gallery. This is the place to link your fabulous favorites that you have discovered in the Gallery during this past week from Monday, July 24 through Sunday, July 30. Everyone is welcome to join in � please, check my next post for directions in how to post.
Your wonderful notifying team, who will be sending out the good news via happy mail, are: Susie (susie australia), Shirley (wannabcre8tive), Priscilla(catluvr2), Nancy (nwilliams6), Carla (Covington Crafter), Carlene(Chatterbox-1), and Angie (ohmypaper!).
My Favorites this week: With our beautiful, sunny weather, it�s difficult to stay home or indoors, but I did spend some time in the Gallery, and I spotted many beauties. It is definitely difficult to choose, but decisions must be made! Here are the highlights from my list to share with you:
Instructions for posting your Favorites..PLEASE read
Please help the Favorites Team by making sure: 1.That your links work correctly.
2.The card maker�s SCS name is shown, and
3.Lastly, it really, really, helps if you have a blank line between each entry.
Thank you in advance for helping us make sure that no one is missed!
Each week we have newcomers to the Favorites threads. EVERYONE is invited to join in. The more participation we have, the more fun and interesting this thread will be.
Want to post a Thank You to the SCS member who nominated your card? Please do not use the �Quote� button at the bottom of the thread!! Instead,scroll down and type your response in the �Quick Reply� box. (Using the �Quote� button to reply causes the original messages to be repeated over and over. That can confuse the team, and we may notify people twice.)
Pay It Forward(optional, but nice). When you say "thank you," you are encouraged to �Pay It Forward� by linking at least one of your own Favorites from last week. You may link as many of your Favorites you wish. Linking your Favorites? Follow these steps: 1. Load this week's Favorites thread in your first browser tab. 2. Open a second browser tab (or a separate window). Go to your Gallery and click on "My Favorites" on the left sidebar. 3. Click on a card you have saved in your Favorites. At the top, highlight the web address (it starts with www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo ..... and so on). Copy the web address. 4. Switch back to the first tab. Scroll down to the �Quick Reply� box at the bottom of the Favorites thread, and paste your link in the message box. On your keyboard, hit Enter twice to add a blank line after each card linked. 5. Repeat steps #3 and #4 as many times as needed to enter all your Favorites links. 6. When you have finished entering your links, click the �Go Advanced� button. Proofread all your entries in the �Preview� window that opens. Make sure your card links all have a blank line between each entry and that the card links work as a link back to each card.
7. Any corrections needed are done in the �Reply to Thread�message box below the �Preview� area in this new window. 8. If you had to make any corrections, click the �Preview Post� button again and re-proof. Steps#6, #7, and #8 can be repeated as many times as needed. 9. When finalized, click the �Submit Reply� button.
HAPPY LINKING!!

Carlene - well done, great work starting your first Favourites thread! Since I'm up early, here's what I found...I had a crazy busy week. I know, story of my life this year.
And my thanks to everybody for all their fun and fabulous bubble-wrap creations for the TLC this week. You really rocked it! I can't list them all ;-).
Thank you for ending my day on such a happy note Carlene. I am tickled pink that you included both of my cards. I also love your Post #2, especially the bit about leaving a blank line between each entry. My old eyes aren't what they used to be! Have a happy, inky week
I'm off to bed soon, A and B ladies I will be back tomorrow with your happy mail.

WOW--what a great way to start a Sunday morning, by seeing my name here for a favorite card. Thank You Charlene for liking my "Love you to Pieces" card!
Favourites and DTGD and I am trying to catch up on ironing!
Here are what I found - sorry if I missed your beautiful creation for DTGD here - I think I forgot to press the heart when whizzing through the gallery.
Decided to quickly post my fav's for the week before I head off to church and then an afternoon at the El Paso Playhouse - (They are performing Calendar Girls - it will be interesting to see how they portray that - Very subtle lighting I imagine!!) LOL
Only one day in the galleries this week (Saturday). Two Doctor appts, X-rays and an MRI for my lower back. MRI results - numerous discs in different states of degeneration. UGH! Appointment with Neurosurgeon Aug. 25th.
I did get to join in the DTGD challenges � hope I can make them all. Here are some of my favs from DTGD:
Heartfelt thanks, Carlene, Lisa, Nancy and Linda, for each listing a card on mine on your lists. I am truly appreciative. Thank you, Priscilla, for volunteering your time on Sunday to let me know. Hugs, Sallie
Thank you so very much, my precious friends [Susie (susie australia), Lisa (Shoe Girl) and Maura (beesmon)] for including my Paradise card as one of your favorites! You bless my heart! Hugs and blessings to you!
Sweet Priscilla, you are so wonderful to volunteer your time to send me notifications! Hugs, special lady!
Thank you Carlene for getting us started! It's doubly hard to choose cards with all the marvelous DTGD creations. Here's what I've found. I'm looking forward to seeing your favorites.
Thanks to Carlene, Lisa, Linda, Maura and Bev for the mention of my card this week. Made my day Thanks, Priscilla for the time notifying. Hope the back is better.
So many wonderful cards this week, and more coming with DTGD! Thank you to Carlene (Chatterbox-1) for including my card Birthday in Black and White in your Favorites, and to Lisa (Shoe Girl) for including Love to See You Smile in yours! Many thanks to Nancy (nwilliams6) for the notifications. Great job, ladies.

Huge thanks to Linda (Holstein) for listing my card, DTGD17understandblueA, You Are Wonderful, in your favorites. Thank you to Shirley (wannabcre8tive) for giving me the good news. Shirley, the email came in but there was no message in my gallery. Somehow, notifications had been disabled. Ugh!
Wish I could list my favorites because I have some but I have been busy commenting on DTGD cards....and it continues.
