Hello Everyone, I am posting away from home this week. We are staying over my in-laws for the July 4th holiday. Looking forward to some grilling. This year, we brought a lot of healthy alternatives to keep us feeling good throughtout the day. (More like, I need to feel less guilty for the overindulging I do) Lots of seafood and veggies. Yum!
Well I have to confess I am sick. It started last week with a soar throat now I have a full blown cough and congestion to boot. It’s very hot here and this isn’t making me the most pleasant at times (imagine that!) So as for crafting and capturing stuff on film, well that simply didn’t happen. Well I did find a couple of photos I took before I had to take a break and rest. In these photos I was playing around with the new Tim Holtz distress inks Summer collection. I have to admit, I normally by these one at a time (with coupons) but I loved the colors in the Spring Collection which was only sold in a set of three and bought those a few weeks back and now the Summer collection is out and I couldn’t resist. The colors are just gorgeous. I started playing around with a tag, some stamps and the inks but then my cold got the best of me so I had to go lay down for a bit.
For those of you who don’t follow my blog regularly, I decided to also include this cute photo of my youngest, Apollo who graduated from Preschool this week. I was a big old puddle of tears when he came out in his cap and gown.
Well I better get going so that I can start spanning the globe looking at other desks. If you haven’t learned about this amazing creative journey you can take every Wednesday, then head on over to Julia’s Stamping Ground and you will find desks from all around the world for What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday.
Have a blessed day!

Apollo looks so cute!! Sorry to hear your poorly, always worse when it’s hot I feel – seems unnatural to have a cold!! Have heard good things about those new DI collections but trying to be good – it won’t last!! Thanks for popping in to see me this week, Cindy #69
Hope you feel better soon…I just am getting over that so know how you feel:(
Your son is so precious.
I just bought the Tim Holtz spring collection ink. Now that I’ve seen your summer I can’t wait for it to get to my store. Looks like a nice start to a great tag. Hope you’re feeling better soon! Your little graduate is such a cutie! They do grow up too fast. Thanks for visiting me!
Hope you are now feeling a bit better, Belinda. Love the colour of the new TH distress ink – I’ve got the Winter set but none of the other seasonals. Your little graduate looks utterly adorable!!
Happy belated WOYWW,

Hope you are feeling all better by now. 🙂
The little one’s grow up so fast, huh? Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to freeze time sometimes, just for a bit…
Anyways, can’t wait to see the completed tag!
