Get Ready to Party on Twitter!

It's August 2nd, and I'll admit it....I don't like to start thinking about........ 

Am I the only one?  I want to stretch out my summer as long as I possibly can without thinking of my hectic schedule that surrounds the school year.  

I want to do this....


Kick back and keep reading my STACK of summer books!  (ooh, and I'll take the ice cream, lemonade and watermelon too, thanks!)

Or I could take a few more days of this....


But before we know it, school will be upon us.  In fact, Beth's kids start NEXT WEEK!  Yikes.  (good thing SHE'S on a beach right now!)

However, this year, to dispel any gloom you may have at the prospect of school starting again, OR if you don't have school age kids and just LOVE the smell of newly sharpened pencils and all the cool stuff the shops already have out for BTS....we have got some FUN in store for YOU!

Our favorite party pals at Stitchin' Heaven are hosting another 
TWITTER PARTY!


Mark your calendars, it will DEFINITELY be something to look forward to in September!  Lots of prizes!  And yep, yours truly is a sponsor.  Here are the details:

How: New to twitter? It’s easy and it’s free! Just follow the instructions below:
1. Get a Twitter account. You can sign up for free at www.twitter.com
2. Go to www.tweetchat.com (or the platform of your choice if you have another you prefer)

4. Sign into Twitter if you aren’t already. You will be prompted to allow or deny the app to access your account. Click “allow”
5. You will be redirected to the party page where you will only see conversations for #SHPARTY partyers.

7. Party! We will post messages to the party and you respond. You’ll see the conversation roll. You may want to set the speed of messages, either slower to keep up or faster to get your messages almost as soon as they post without the delay. However you want, it’s your party! You can find how to set the speed right under your message box.
