Get Your Gray On!



Yes, this means what you think it does!

I mailed out all of the Shades of Grey Charm Square packages on Friday! 

I can't begin to relate how excited I am to have these on their way to you. I'm excited to see what everyone does with them, and I'm happy that the squares are no longer "haunting" me. I kid you not--I was sorting these late at night this past week, and each night I would DREAM about gray squares all night. It was strange...















Here's what the sorting looked like:

And here's a (slightly blurry) photo of the massive pile of envelopes:
I give my local post office a lot of credit. 
They didn't duck behind the counter when they saw me coming! :)

I can't resist showing off a few of my favorite prints. It is amazing (you'll see!) to realize how many different shades of gray there truly are. 
Some more green, some more purple, some more brown, but all are gray!






Shades of Grey friends, I'd love to hear from you when you receive your package! And please let me know if there are any problems. I recounted every pile, but it's always possible to make a mistake!

Have fun!

Oh, and one more thing. I have an extra set of charm squares that I'm going to give away. Please leave a comment for a chance to win them. The giveaway is open until Thursday, October 4th at 11:59 pm EST and then I'll use random generator to choose a winner. 

Thanks everyone!
