Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. ~ 1 Peter 4:10

Summertime Fun

Summer is flying by! Things have been super busy but we are enjoying the more laid back schedule. Here are some favorite summertime things I've recently been enjoying...


  • Sleeping a little later

  • Spending time with family we don't get to see as often as we'd like

  • Reading - I'm totally into the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer; almost finished with Eclipse and can't wait to dive into Breaking Dawn.

  • Ice Cream, smoothies, Italian Ice, frozen fruit...anything to beat the 100+ degree weather

  • Spending sweet time with my kids

  • Having my hubby home from his recent youth trips (camp and mission)

  • Catching up on movies I haven't seen (He Just Not That into You, New in Town, Confessions of a Shopaholic)

  • Tackling some projects around the house (cleaning out the garage and pantry, decorating my son's room, purging stuff we don't use anymore...feels so good!!)

  • Seeing the new Harry Potter Movie...been looking forward to it for a while now

  • Taking lots of pictures; now I need to start getting them scrapbooked

I haven't had much time in the studio these days. Things have been super busy with the kiddos home, but I'm hoping to finish up a few pieces that are almost complete. I also want to try some smaller "quick and easy" paintings; I've really been itching to get out my watercolors! I really hope to have some new art to post very soon!! :)

In the meantime...here is one of my favorite summertime songs...
