Sunshine At Last!

Here in New England, summer truly started this past weekend with gorgeous sunshine finally arriving on Friday! On the 4th of July, I enjoyed a cookout near the beach - feasting on hot dogs, hamburgers, my mother's special eggplant parmesan, and gigantic chocolate and vanilla cupcakes. We also got to take in some fireworks and sun and sand at the beach.

This afternoon I stopped into my local library and was happy to find Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Crafts. This book has instructions for virtually every craft project imaginable!! I checked it out of the library intending to just make a few photocopies of my favorite projects, but there were too many to count! I think I'll have to wait for the next Borders Rewards coupon and buy it for myself. If you've ever had the impulse to craft or know someone who loves a good DIY project, this book is a must!

I know, how great was it to see the sun?! I feel human again!

I didn't know this book existed. I will have to check it out.
