Recently I went to a very fun sewing workshop at Whipstitch here in Atlanta. You see, I heard that Dana from Made was coming and I had to meet her! Dana is primarily a seamstress, but she does Mod Podge every now and again. Since I’ve been sewing for a long time (although it’s taken a backseat to decoupage), I thought it would be fun to participate in a Saturday workshop, and it was. We had a blast! I also met some other awesome bloggers. Please visit my new-found friends. They rock!
Dana and I
Tiffany from Simply Modern Mom
Larissa from MMMCrafts
In other news, Father’s Day is coming quickly, so I need to get you prepared! Here’s a project from Roots and Wings that I really love, and it involves the kids. Please click on the picture below for the tutorial!
Blogger who loves the color blue and sock monkeys. You can find me in public easily— I'm wearing glasses and lots of stripes.
As a teacher, summer is a BIG DEAL to me. I’m especially looking forward to trips to the Dallas Museum of Art and the Southwest School of Art and Craft, but also to having time to putter and piddle and maybe even finish some projects.
OMG your t-shirt is sooo cute! I look forward to backyard BBQ’s and lazy hammock evenings.
I hope I have some fun summer surprises (you are a very cute lady – nice pics!)

I confess that summer is not one of my favorite seasons, especially when it’s a real hot one! But I am looking forward to the fruit and produce I will be getting from joining a CSA!
What a delight to find our project on your amazing site! Thanks for linking up!
I LOVE summer! I just love anytime my kids are home all day with me. I feel like I never get enough of them! We are going to Yellowstone. For us that is 2 days of driving each way. whew! But we’re making the drive part of the fun. Plus, halfway we’ll get to visit my Grandmother (who is my absolute favorite person in the world! She’s the ideal Grandma and I’m so thankful my kids have gotten to know her!). Should all be a TON of fun! Hope yours is a good one. Looks like you’ve started your summer off with a bang!
Rebecca@RootsAndWingsCo
Looks like you had a terrific weekend! I’m looking forward to one thing this summer – my wedding! And I’m gonna Mod Podge the heck out of a cupcake stand for said wedding.
Oh man, I really wanted to attend the workshop with Dana this weekend but already had other commitments. Bummer! Next time…..
I am looking forward to more weekends at the pool!
I am so looking forward to the wonderful weather and the time with my boys! : )
My husband and I are going to Comic Con! Woop woop!
I’m looking forward to camping with my family!
I went to Whip Stitch for the first time last week. Cute place! I unfortunately HAD to play tennis that weekend because of a shortage and couldn’t schedule to attend the workshop. So wish I could have. Anyway, love to be in the giveaway.
I am looking forward to the beach!

I love that card, so cute! I am looking forward to the nice weather and the late sunsets. I also LOVE taking my son to the spray parks!
Man, I’m not looking forward to anything as fun as hanging out with Dana. I adore her blog. I sort of think she’s a rock star! Jealous! I guess I’ll just have to make my own fun out here in the West.
I am embarrassed to admit that I cooked french toast and eggs yesterday for Father’s Day and it took me ALL DAY to realize that it wasn’t Father’s Day.
Do you ever thinks MOMS get two days? No.
MY husband will, though. UNFAIR!
LOVE the photos – looks like you had a lot of fun, Amy!
that hands project is absolutely ADORABLE!
this summer, i’m looking forward to my Boys (hubbin and son) being off at the end of this week, and getting to enjoy some road trippin’ before i find myself a new job. not happy to be unemployed, but very excited to be able to ENJOY some summer days, at least for the next couple of weeks!
(oh, and i’m looking forward to craftin’, as there’s a craft fair coming up, where i hope to sell my wares and maybe get a little bit of income!)

Help me please! The three short people that live in my home are holding me hostage. They’ve taken control of the Mod Podge, the scrapping table, and the craft closet. This summer, we were planning to clean all of the floors in the house with toothbrushes. And every week we were going to mow the lawn – by hand, with scissors. Apparently the short trio has a better plan. I can hear them talking about scrapbooking and altered art projects. OH NO, one of them said we’re out of Mod Podge! They’re coming for me and my purse. SHHHH, don’t let them hear you – just save me from a summer without Mod Podge! aaaauuuuuuggghhhhhh!!!!
It’s winter here in Aussie but I will be looking forward to summer really soon! I will be out there in the garden growing more vegies – you gotta love homegrown vegies!
We don’t have anything really fun planned, no trips or anything. I do have lots on my crafts to-do list. And we’re planning a two night stay in Waikiki just to get away from home and because we’re not taking a real trip anywhere.

As I just received the news that my cancer is officially in remission, I’m looking forward to a summer where I’m NOT getting poked and jabbed with needles!! OTOH, I’m looking forward to getting back to making some more jewelry for a craft fair in August, playing with our new puppy (squeeee!!), and cooking like crazy! Our daughter just turned 20, and we’re having a cookout Friday night for 30 people. I love it!!!

Until then–am searching for the perfect victim to decoupage in vintage pattern tissue…
Fun this summer – hmmmmmmmm just teh nice warm sun
I’m looking forward to spending a week with my grandchildren who live across country from me.
