Remembering the soap is always good -- particularly when you are washing socks, feet, and your kids' soccer uniforms!

But personal hygiene aside, we wanted to remind you of a few upcoming deadlines you won't want to miss:

1. I Love Your Smile! Click here for details on how you can win a basket of Lain's and Stacy's fave goodies. Deadline is this Wednesday at midnight Eastern.

2. Fab friend and Ella author (hereinafter abbreviated to FF&EA) Wendy Smedley is giving away a copy of 20 Simple Secrets of Happy Scrapbookers. Check out her blog for details. Contest ends Tuesday, 10/27, at Noon MST.

3. Renee Pearson, another FF&EA, is hosting an amazing online digital class, Collage 101. It starts November 19, is aimed at intermediate-level digital scrapbookers, and is definitely worth checking out! Class fee starts at $40.

That's the scoop for this week. Come back tomorrow for the announcement of the winning sketches layouts from last week's contest. And later this week we'll have our Ella Friends' take on the I Love Your Smile challenge -- as well as our winners!
