Summer Sails

This is a card I created from a layout idea I saw in a local craft store. Just a little bit of summer to share. I used it as a masculine birthday card. Very simple and fast to put together. I used some old stamps that I had and some retiring colors from Stampin' up. I put a little 2 way glue on the water and added some ultra fine stampin' glitter. It turned out nice enough a friend of mine who stamps took a picture of it to make one of her own! Hope you like it as much as I do.

Estuarium in Little Washington

I love nature. So this summer I am taking my preschoolers on some nature focused fieldtrips. We went to the Estuarium this week and they absolutely loved it. It is so pretty. I wish more cities would develop a place for city runoff to go before it enters the rivers and streams. My kids loved the turtles on the board walk. They followed us most of the way until we got to the lily pads where they just couldn't keep up.

It's a Long Hot Summer!

I don't know about you but I am not a fan of summer. Love the growing season and summer rain, but the heat and humidity just stinks! And thank you Lord for the beautiful rain this week!I got the opportunity to go with my sister and nephew at the end of may to the Science & Nature museum in Durham. It is really cool place. This is one of the fabulous pictures of the beautiful butterflies that were floating around in the butterfly pavilion. If you get the chance it is definitely an awesome place to go!
