Welcome back everyone. Our design team had a short break, but we are back. We are featuring what we have been doing this summer so far. Hopefully you just came from the super talented Amber.

Here's what I've been up to so far this summer. I've been crafting quite a bit and selling my crafts at my local farmer's market on Saturdays. My family and I took a trip and spent a week at a beautiful cabin on a lake. It was wonderful. My youngest son has been staying busy with Summer Junior Golf Lessons, hanging out with friends and going to the library.


I decided to make him a messenger style bag out of duct tape to carry his books in to and from the library. He loves anything in camouflage so I found some camo duct tape and some black duct tape and made him a bag.





Thanks for joining us today and we hope you enjoyed our projects.
