I love summer

Whats been going on in your home this summer?   We have been busy!   Lots of beach days, walks outside and crafting of course!   

We visited family in NH for the 4th - and had a blast!  I posted a few photos of some of my recent work/orders & a few of my own photos from my yard, from our mini vaca in NH etc.   Enjoy!

Some kind of butterfly near the garden.

Something wiped out all of the brocolli lastnight.  I guess we are feeding more then just our family with this small garden!  

Small but its pefect for what we need.

Whats your favorite summer veggie?!     I love comments!

4th of July Banner 

This is a 4th of July banner that I created using my Cricut Expression and the following cartridges.  


1.) Mini Monograms 
2.) Plantin Schoolbook 
3.) Calligraphy Collection. 


As you can see from the photo, I only used red, white and blue cardstock.   It's simple but very sweet.    I finished it off by hole punching the cutouts and stringing it together on ribbon. 

ENJOY!
