Today is the eighth day of the 18th Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge! If you don’t have an idea for your slice yet, look at the “Be Inspired” below; it could be the idea you need!
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Sending thanks to our Slicer Troubleshooting Team, Glenda Funk, Fran McCrackin, Joanne Toft, and Peter von Euler, who helped out for the past week! They have graciously given their time to support our slicers. Visit their blogs to get to know them even better.
BE INSPIRED
Earlier this week, I was visiting blogs and commenting when I came across long-time slicer Leigh Anne Eck’s post. She was sharing about a novel study she had just finished with students, and one of the ideas that had come from it reminded her of our slicing community. Take a peek at her post, “Finger Frames” at A Day in the Life. I’m definitely doing this at least once this month.
