***the October Mini & NOVEMBER VSBN Theme/Dates ***

[Lmn]

OK, here it is...what you've been waiting for!

The next VSBN will be in November!


Mini VSN - Saturday, October 23rd / challenges start 6PM EST

Main Event - Friday, November 5th / challenges start 3PM EST and Saturday, Novmeber 6th / challenges start at NOON EST


And the theme is.........

"On Cloud Nine"

History= For some reason, the number 9 has always been considered by mathematicians to have some super power.
Some say it goes back to the Holy Trinity since 3 x 3 = 9. And later, in Victorian times, a person who was all dressed up was said to be "dressed to the nines."

So what does this have to do with clouds?

It was believed that clouds existed on a successful level of layers, and the ultimate high layer was 9.

So anyone who is suddenly super happy was said to be soaring in the clouds and naturally the level of the cloud they were assumed to be on was the highest...level 9.

Today another way of saying your are very happy and even in some cases, in love, is to say that you are on cloud 9.

We are going to explore everything that puts YOU on Cloud 9 for this VSBN!

Look for an announcement for VSBN Hostess Volunteers HERE...so be thinking of ideas for this theme.

We look forward to hearing them!

wow, didn't know that VSN was having the same theme, at least the dates are a week apart for the mini and the big event, was that the intention? Sounds like it should definitely be a heavenly week though!

Hi ladies. I'm not really all the great with digi stuff. But I put a Cloud 9 ad together in paint to advertise with. If you like it, let me know and I'll send you the file. If someone comes up with another one, just let me know.

I can't upload it to the gallery right now, will try later. In the meantime, you can check it out on my blog if you like:
