ReplyDeleteSuch awesome stamps here from Hero Stamp. They´re really great.
ReplyDeleteMy summer will mostly be spent with my 7 granddaughters, who all wants to come and stay here, when they´re free of school. Thjey had the last day before the holiday last friday and we were to a wedding saturday, where the first 2 came and asked if they could come home with us alreadyha ha ha, si I´m pretty sure, I´ll get to craft a lot between spending time in the pool, if else the weather will cooperate with us here, and I just so look forward to that.
We are just coming into winter, so will be spending plenty of time in my craft room

ReplyDeleteWell we will be having lots of little trips around our lovely ireland-no doubt they will be rain filled but the memories made are always worth it ;)
I'm taking the summer off from work. I'm going to relax, spend some time making cards, play with my dogs, and maybe go visit my sister and family. The best part is I don't have to make plans, I can just do whatever I want.

ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to taking a week's vacation from work! Not even sure what I'll do with the time off, but it will be so nice to get to sleep in and not have to be at work at 5am! I may head down to my Mom's for a visit for a few days of that time.
