It's officially summer and more!

We had such a mild May. I couldn't believe that we had temperatures in the 80s and 90s. We totally lucked out. But now, I've just checked the weather and our summer is definitely here! It's going to hit 106-108 over the weekend and we'll get to our normal 110 pretty soon. It sounds pretty bad doesn't it? I've lived here my whole life (seriously) and it really doesn't get too bad until the monsoons in August and September. That's when the humidity rises and that's when it gets miserable!

Anyway... we hope you had a terrific Memorial Day! Thank you for making our sale a success and please be patient with us as we catch up on shipping! Our customers are the best!

I love her use of the Graphic 45 - A Proper Gentleman papers and check out all of that fussy-cutting! The photo is of Sandi's father-in-law circa 1930s. The Gentleman paper was definitely made for this photo of Sandi's FIL! Sandi loves Graphic 45 and it shows in her work! Thanks for sharing Sandi!
