School's In Session!

Oh, be still my heart, school's out for summer!

 

We wrapped up the year with a picnic in the park. I made a fabulous salad and ate three deserts. Dirt cake, how could I say no?! 

Now, what will we do with that bit of extra time Monday through Thursday...
Did somebody say, "more time for crafting?"

Now Trending: Craft Beer

 Gotta love a good summer ale, but my heart is still pining for the winter brews of our local Seven Sea's Brewery and their delicious porters. Oh, but their standard year round bottle of Ballz Deep is plenty tasty, and as you can see by this card I made, plenty inspiring!
Remember all those fun bowling and billiards icons from the May EmbellishKits.com cardmaking collection? I took one of the pretty Boy stickers and "oy!" made myself the perfect alpha to take center stage and support those tile stickers. The inside is even funnier; how can one go wrong with a  "The Mustache Made Me Do It" chipboard sticker?!
You'll find this card and more all summer long just up the shopping complex from the Brewery in the Gig Harbor Copy & Mail.

It took me a few days to get my video made- instead of my usual craft submersion this weekend I instead participated in the creation of some terrific Mother's Day memories - go figure! I laughed to myself throughout the day because usually I take this day off from any caretaking activities, child related or otherwise. For some reason though I kept washing dishes and comforting the kids- so maybe I'm maturing in my motherly way lol.
My brother came over in the morning and helped us set up a playset one of Ray's clients gifted us last fall. I somehow managed to convince him that the best place for them to play would be directly across from my craft room window... so yes, I will need to spend even more time in there, "supervising!" Later in the day my mom and her husband came over and we enjoyed a lovely afternoon, complete with BBQ and a long distance chat with my step-sister in Germany. I couldn't help but show off my seedlings- but did not mention the crop of aphids I discovered hiding in all my kale. YECH!
But back to the showing off- you're here, you know I love to do it so here it is without further ado:

We certainly hope you are enjoying these kit preview and share videos! Show your support with a big thumbs up and tell a friend what they're missing- inspiration, ideas, and non-intentional impersonations of Rachel Ray by yours truly :-)
Thanks again for following!
