So I finally sat down and put together two bucket lists for this summer. I am a huge list person. I would venture a guess that you could tell more about who I am from my lists then my journals. Or at least as much. So for the first time I have made a summer bucket list. I made one for the kids as well. But I am to lazy to type it up at the moment. So today all you get is my personal list.

I love getting WIPS marked off of my to do list. We also made our own bubbles from my Summer Fun Pin Board last week. Still haven't used them yet and have no idea if they work, maybe we will have to try that out today!  What's on your summer bucket list??

For now I am very much enjoying the warm weather. Like the plants, and like my mother, I am happiest in the sun. Fall and winter have their certain charms, and I truly love baking bread and working on quilts while the leave change. However, I come alive when the weather turns warm. I am rediscovering old loves.

I have been updating at my other blog Grace and Manna , journaling, and even working on a writing project that I am not quite ready to share about just yet! I am also discovering some new pass times like mixed media journals Smash books are my newest love! You as you can see over at my Pi...
