First Day of Summer Vacation.

WOW! I can't believe the school year is over, and now its summer vacation! My kids are just growing up so fast Matthew will be going into grade 2, Madison is moving onto middle school in grade 6 and Brandon into grade 7. Kind of glad summer is here no lunches to make, the end of the school year was just so busy! Now its time to relax a little, oh not really just means for me a house full of kids from sun up to sun down. Excited for our camping trip in August!

With school coming to end, I had lots of crafty projects to get done, I will have to get organized and share them all with you. Yesterday I got to unwind some and go to an all day crop, I got to meet some great ladies, had some great laughs, oh good food, worked on some upcoming IT projects and my favorite part of the day chocolate fountain. Oh it was amazing!

I was soo busy Friday I didn't get to post the inspiration for the week so here it is.
