Hot and Humid

We're having our typical North Carolina summer, hot and humid weather, afternoon thunder and lightening storms, mosquitoes, river gnats and lots of bug bites! Unfortunately it's too late for me, I've got about 20 bites, guess I missed some spots when I sprayed! The worst part is the itching at night when your trying to sleep and your so tired and all you want to do is scratch your bites! I stocked up on bug spray, I just have to remember to use it when I go outside!

I almost stepped on a King Snake today, it's living in a hole under our dog Marley's water bucket. King snakes are the good snakes to have as they will kill other snakes, especially poisonous ones so as long as we have them around, I feel a little better that I won't see anymore rattlesnakes this year. (keeping fingers crossed!)

I really love summer but I think I'm going to start counting down the months until Fall when the snakes and bugs will be gone!

I've been in a shabby mood lately, I'm working on a mirror right now that I'll share photos of when I'm done. Got a few cards to share...



And a few more....




And a couple more.....




There's a mixture of Melissa Frances, Sizzix, Maya Road, vintage doilies and trim, ribbon, paint, buttons, German Glass glitter, and more. I've been in the creative mood lately so I'm taking advantage of it because I could lose my mojo at any time! The front landscaping has been put on hold (our friend is helping us and he's been busy with other work related things but he's almost caught up and should be back soon- yay!) so I've been spending a lot of time in my craft room. I'm also working on a shabby photo album but only have 1 1/2 pages done, I think that project is going to take a few weeks!

That's about it for now, thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a wonderful day!
