More Giveaways and a Layout!

I posted about the Craft Your Nest giveaway we have going on *Here* in a previous post. That giveaway is still going on until next Wednesday (June 11th).

And now Paper Issues is doing a giveaway for two of the June swag bags on their Facebook page at some point today which is *Here*! So make sure to check in over there.
The bags are so much fun! Here is a pic...

and here is a layout I created in just thirty minutes one night using a few pieces from the bag...

I am going back to a simpler style here. A style that is totally inspired by Melanie Louette. I think that she is simply fabulous. :) And once again I am finding myself layering project life cards as a photo mat. Really like using them up that way.
The photo of Erin was taken by my brother. :)

In addition to the swag bag giveaway on the Facebook page, they are also giving away two "doggie bags" on the blog *Here*. Doggie bags are a smaller version of the swag bags.

Don't forget, there is still a few days to link up projects over at Paper Issues for the "World is a Circle" issue. There are almost 200 link ups already! That's a lot of projects. And I am going to add this one because there is a round piece of flair on it. :)

Around here we are now into our third day of summer vacation, and so far so good.

Going for walks outside...

Made muffins for breakfast yesterday morning when Erin said she felt like eating something "different". So she found a recipe for blueberry mini muffins in a princess cookbook she received for Christmas from her aunt and uncle. Since we had all the ingredients and no where to be that morning, I said sure. And they were pretty yummy!

And we found our first "cake" of the summer for the "Cakeway to the West" birthday celebration for our town that turns 250 years old this year. :)
Looking forward to finding more this summer. I am pretty sure we won't make it to see all 250, but we are going to find as many as possible!

Well, that is it for today!
Hope you have a great weekend :)
