  • Friendship bracelet number bazillion of the week and I *just* had to share!!!
  • The past few days of travel-crafting have brought me back to my camp counselor days when I used to cloud watch and make up camp songs on the daily! :) My only issue now is that I want to make like 63 more of these colorful friendship bracelets to share with everyone I know and love…….heck, let’s do this: leave me a comment below and I can randomly choose a few of you to send some happy, colorful, camp-friendly snail mail to when we get back from the mountains next week, eh?! :)

  • Ya know that whole procraftination thing that people talk about (procrastinating on life things by crafting). I’m not naming names here, but this is my only accomplishment for the day. Also, donut dough. I did get some donut dough made. Because, well, ya know, priorities. 🌈🍩
  • She’s equal parts sassy and sweet. She plays emphatically with princesses, puppies, race cars and babies all equally. She hates brushing her hair (duh) and she LOVES water. She would prefer to wear no clothes (ALLLLLL the time) but always chooses her rubber boots as her footwear of choice. And everyday I want her to wake up knowing how beautiful she is….that she was created ON purpose FOR a purpose! That no matter how many mistakes she makes or what kids say about her or to her or no matter what trials she faces: ESTHER, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! :) ⁣ .⁣ Also, I plan to make MANY more of these colorful flags for our house and the shop! YAY for NAY?! Annnnnnd any saying or phrases that you want to see? :)
  • Do you think anyone would notice if I just walked onto a parade route today and just joined in on the fun?? I could even duct tape secret compartments inside the bomb pop costume to store the candy and freezies that I can hand out to kiddos!?! Right?! :) This sounds like a very patriotic plan and FOR SURE nobody would even question it!⁣ HAPPY 4th OF JULY EVERYONE!⁣ .⁣ Also! Check out my stories if you need a last minute patriotic dessert for your festivities today! With only a few ingredients and 20 minutes of time, you will be the hit of the party! 💙❤
