Welcome to the latest issue of the Blender of Love Digest ever!

Perhaps I can blame the summer humidity... or summer vacations... or the misfortunes of my beloved Red Sox.

Or I could just buck up and take responsibility for it like a man.

Nah. I'm going to blame the time I spent on this month's Blender Feature, a 'Labor of Love' to reclaim Timna Woollard's art from the 1990 film "Where The Heart Is"... and even a tool to get the calendars as promised in the movie.

The seasonal lethargy seemed to take its toll on the Blender writers as well, with fewer submissions for the month... but there was still a ton of quality, so read this month's picks and enjoy!
--Kirk, Blender-Keeper
