Craft On and From Me To You

I cannot believe that it is August already. This summer is going by too fast. We are in the middle of getting ready to bring Meghan back for her senior year of college and bring Nicole to college for her first year of college. The dining room is starting to get filled up with all their gear.

I hope everyone is staying cool with the hot days we have been having. I have been trying to spend as much time as possible down in the basement crop room where it is cooler. I have been having fun playing around with the August Featured collection - Craft On as well as the Stamp of the Month for August - From Me To You. I am happy to be able to share these with you.

The Craft On collection features bright colors with crisp, clean designs that are perfect for celebrating good times and great friends and a love of all things crafting.

Welcome to June everyone! It's been a little crazy around here with the end of the school year for both of my girls as well as high school graduation for my younger daughter.

Before I get in to the June Close To My Heart news, I want to do a little mom bragging. So proud of Nicole as she graduates high school and gets ready for heading off to college. She will be  studying Biology and Biotechnology at Emmanuel College in the fall.
