September My Monthly Hero Countdown + Giveaway: Day 1
Hello and happy September, friends! Seasons change but one constant around here is our favorite way to welcome a new month – with a My Monthly Hero countdown party, of course. And we're so excited to get this one started! We do want to let you know about a slight change to our typical launch schedule this month. Due to the Labor Day holiday on Monday, the new kits and add-ons will be revealed and make their grand entrance on Tuesday, September 5 at 1:00 pm Eastern/10:00 am Pacific.
We're also giving a kit away! Before we get to that, let's take a look at four amazing cards from the Creative Team. We invite you to visit each of their blogs (linked below), where they are sharing additional details.

New this month! We had so much fun at the Pre-launch Party for the holiday release, we've decided to do it again! Join us on Monday night, September 4th, at 8pm ET - live on our YouTube channel or Facebook page - for an early look at this month's release! We will walk you through the products, sharing card samples and inspiration. We have never revealed a kit prior to launch in all of our years of offering My Monthly Hero kits, so we are pretty excited for you to tune in! We've also created a printable checklist for you to download and use for creating your shopping list while you watch. We hope you'll join us Monday night!

We’ll randomly draw one lucky winner from comments left across all countdown posts on the Hero Arts blog. The winner will be announced first thing Tuesday morning, September 5, before the kit launches at 10:00 am Pacific. The more you comment, the more chances to win. Good luck!

Mushrooms are healing and magic mushrooms are being studied all over with doctors finding amazing healing with trauma, addiction, end-of-life fears, and useful in microdoses for fatigue and to help people live better lives. Fungi have helped people in all cultures throughout history and only the last 50 years have they been “illegal” Happy you are celebrating Mushrooms!!!
