Join me this weekend for a fabulous Christmas in July party! Come and link up the projects you have made or will make for Christmas this year. I am especially interested in homemade gifts, because, let’s face it, we probably need to get started on them NOW if we are going to be ready for the big day. So come one, come all, spread the word and lets have a little party and pretend that it isn’t 120 degrees outside!
I am happy to report that the pirate party was a success, despite an uncharacteristically strong rainstorm, that hindered some of the party preparations.
