why
are there school supplies in the stores
by the second week of july?
why?
and i'm not just asking a casual 'why'
it's more like that scene from
steel magnolias at the graveyard after shelby
gets buried and sally field looks at herself
in her compact and then realizes
that shelby was right that she does have
a football helmet for hair and then she starts wailing
why why whyyyyyyyyyy!
uh huh
that's pretty much what i felt like
when i walked into walmart last week
and was rudely confronted with all those bins
full of crayons, calculators and compasses
but don't worry
i mostly just screamed 'why' inside my own noggin
though i may have scared a couple of folks away
with that crazed look in my eye
but summer is still here
and i am clutching on to it with both sunburned hands
for as long as i can
even if i will have to pay full price for glue and scissors
but enough about my personal issues
last week on
you all shared some wonderful
recipes
crafts
tips
decorating projects
and just general
yummyness
i was inspired by ana from a petite cottage
who stretched one pretty sheet into
this lovely duvet and pillow
and bag
and sweet little apron
phew
that's a whole lotta thrifty stitchery
on a similar note
amanda from gratefully growing in grace
crafted this beautiful 'quiet book' for her little one
i am amazed at the colorful pictures
detailed stitches
and fun activities herein
what a lovely way for a small child to learn bible stories
daune (pronounced 'dawn') from cottage in the oaks
revamped her formally boring fireplace
from a zero
to an eleven
and that gorgeous antique mantle?
a gift
finally
in honor of
summer
i have
not one
but two
delightful recipes for strawberry shortcake
to share with you
keri from pressed down, shaken together
posted her grandmother's shortcake recipe
and judy from cranberry morning
shared her own decadent dessert
i don't know about you
but my mouth is watering
yum
