I love summer

Why do I love summer? Immediately I thought because I love the sun and I love being outdoors. But my 3 absolute favorite reasons for loving summer: I love camping, building campfires, making s'mores!! I love eating fresh veggies right out of our garden. Store bought just doesn't taste the same! I long for summer all winter long so I can pick and eat the food from the garden, cucumbers and tomatoes are my favorites!! I also love walking around in my barefeet! I love the feel of the grass under my feet or the sand between my toes! I have never been much of a shoe person at all, so summer is perfect! This was an easy topic for me because I just love everything about summer!!!!

Repurposed!

4 Things I repurposed for scrapbooking. What a fun topic, there are so many things in my scraproom I could have chosen, I narrowed it down to some of my favorites. My cassette tape "business" card holder. I just recently had these cards made for family and friends who ask me to make albums for them and needed a place to put them I saw the idea in a magazine and just knew I had to try it. Love the way it turned out! Second is my pen holder. I made it from a wine rack I found at a yard sale paired with some pringle cans to hold the pen! Keeps me super organized. Third, a spice rack to keep my buttons organized, not to mention that it displays them pretty nicely too. And Forth, household items, like soda can tabs for ribbon buckles and bread bag tabs for mini tags. Great topic Courtney! Sorry its a week late I have been super busy and didn't want to throw it together just to have it done on time.

Courtneys tag: I made it from a toilet paper roll I had saved for a mini album. It seemed like the perfect way to use it! Then I topped it with some fabric scraps I had, another soda can tab ribbon buckle, and a piece from some junk mail with all my info. (I borrowed the idea from Courtney's tag, hope you don't mind, I just loved the idea!)
