a Summer Flies By...

September.

Where has the time gone? I look so forward to warmer weather, sitting on the deck watching clouds move over a green Hollow. seeing friends, exploring news places, wearing short sleeves, sleeping with the windows open. Summer. It goes so quickly. We have accomplished so much and have done so many wonderful things this summer. But I still find myself wanting more time. More summer.

It was a summer of quiet and it was a summer of celebration. Spending time with dear friends. Spending quiet time with each other. Celebrating milestone birthdays and our 34th wedding anniversary.

The summer wasn't without drama. But by purging the negative, we have made more more for the positive and the joyful.

Summer.

I will be sad to see it go, but knowing that cool Fall weather is coming...bonfires and river cruises and leaves changing and HALLOWEEN are coming....well, it's all good.

While My Craft Room Collects Dust...

Summertime is not the time to be inside huddled over a hot glue gun!

I painted my antique doors this year and gave my Hatian metal sculpture a bright coat of paint.

I Bought Myself a Little Something

I recently visited family in Houston and while there made a visit to the National Museum of Funeral History. It was amazing! I bought this "Wedding Ring Coffin" in their fabulous gift shop! PERFECT for my business cards.
