Dreaming that u r here eating watermelon with me~~~~~~~

Welcome to BBTB2 blog hop. This week we were asked by our host Heather to use the watermelon from SYI~~~~~~~Watermelon to me screams Summer....I love to cut up a fresh watermelon and put it in the fridge in my tupperware bowl for a anytime tasty treat....I decided to use The Cutting Cafe file stamps called  mini polka dot.  I wanted my card to not only have the watermelon cut, but also look like a watermelon. What do you think? I hope u r enjoying your Summer days. My kids have been little fishies as they swim as much as they can in our pool.. (wink)..Please leave me a comment to be in my drawing to win 60 yards of twine by My Minds Eye and embossing powder.

Dreaming of Sunshine and Smiles~~~~~~

This project I created for The Cutting Cafe made my heart smile..I am Dreaming of Sunshine and always praying for smiles..My little ones have a way of making me smile and appreciate each day.  Yesterday, they really wanted to go have ice cream at a place we have never been.  Grandpa had taken them on his boat fishing and afterwards ice cream to a local fish store on Sunday..They swore by this place being the coolest ever and having the best ice-cream they had ever eaten.  Two days in a row of ice-cream..Hmmmm...Alright..the curiosity of this magical place had my interest alone, so off we headed for the worlds best ice cream...LOL...This place wasn't what I expected, just a small little place off one of our local Lakes...not this spectacular place my children had mentioned, but as I walked out of the small little shop that sold only about 8 different ice cream flavors and small little minnows for fishing I realized that my 8 and 5 year old just taught me a very important lesson at that moment..happiness is not the place, but the direction in which it took to get there..what I mean by this is that my children loved and cherished the time they spent with Grandpa S...it wasn't that this place was the coolest place they have ever been, but that they got to experience getting ice cream with Grandpa at the fish store he goes to....it wouldn't of matter where this place was or what it looked like..in their eyes those moments were disney like......and now I get to be a part of that memory of the fish store and the best ice cream ever...even if it was the day after:) If u read all this I thank u, as it helps me to gather my thoughts through writing...I hope u like my project using the Flip-Flop and envelope from Regina's shop..and it goes perfect with my fish story...Hugs

The Summer has arrived, swimming, slumber parties, cook-outs, vacations, isn't it wonderful? The sun has been showing his smiling face here in my city, but today was a rain day. I decided this set from ~~~~~~The Cutting Cafe would be the perfect choice for my Tilda in the rain stamp. Regina has all kinds of beauties over at her shop, from hot air balloons to cute little critters. Her printable stamps even have awesome sayings like the one on my card today. Rain Rain go Away! Hop over there and take a peek at what she has....In other words, u won't be dissapointed...ENJOY!
