Shades of Summer started when I was pregnant with Quincey and I knew I wouldn't be traveling anywhere that summer so we thought it would be fun to send around 10 pairs of traveling sunglasses. Surprisingly, you guys are enjoying taking dorky pictures wearing them with me so this will be our fourth year.
Last night my darling sister, Ashley, and her cute family joined us at our local Carnival. I talked Ash into being the first SOS girl this year. We might have almost broke the table we were sitting on and almost had to pay $5 to try to pop the balloons behind us but thank goodness neither happened.
Another reason I like SOS is that it encourages us to get on the other side of the camera & to not worry if anyone is looking at you while you cheese it up wearing pink aviators.
I know, I know... we've already worn pink sunnies. I was hoping for turquoise but the coupon clipper in me couldn't beat $1.50 at Forever 21.
Here we go!! Email me at ShadesOfSummer@gmail.com if you want to join in the fun. EDITED I filled up for the SOS this year! Thanks everyone who emailed me by 3:45 mountain standard time you are on the list.
By signing up you pinky swear you will do the following:
-Take a photo wearing shades and email me a picture at shadesofsummer@gmail.com.
-Place the shades back in box and ship to next SOS girl with in 2 days.
-Post a picture on your blog, facebook, etc if you want to & link back here. That's it!
If you are near Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria email Barbara our SOS organizer at scrap-impulse@t-online.de but you will still email me your photo once you take it. Thanks!

Wow, it filled up so quickly. My MIL was over today for a visit and I forgot to send out my email draft at noon CST. Oh well, I'll try next year! :) Have fun everyone!
how do we know if we made it? i emailed you, but havent heard anything in response...
Oh, I missed it again! I saw the first post and then kids took over today and I forgot. I guess it will be just another year of watching... or maybe I'll kick off my own version.
I missed it! ;( Well, I'm glad you got it going again. If you get more glasses, COUNT ME IN! Have fun everyone!
Hoping to get the sunnies out on monday!

jackie,
I don't have time to email everybody but just know that if you emailed me at the shades email you will be put on a list... ! :)
then it's up to you ladies to keep them movin' !! :)
I emailed before 11:45pm CET, but I think I forgot the address. Will I be on the list or not??
I will have to get in on this next year.
Lesson learned. Never miss a week of BLOG reading.
boo!! i missed it again!!
Your corn, bean, tomato, avocado concoction is called Cowboy Caviar in our neck of the woods (Lehi). Only we use a pkg of dry italian seasoning. Yum!
Love your pic of the Strawberry Days carnival. So pretty.
Nice way to start with the summer but now its too late for me, but yeah, i really liked the shades.
I'm wondering if I'll get a pair this summer? :( Hopefully whoever is on the list before me is sending it my way soon.
Just wondering if you've had anyone send you pics of the shades? I'm still waiting:( I'm afraid they didn't make it to me:( I'll be on the look out for the pictures though, seems super fun.
Thanks.
