Fresh from the Farm! Our first CSA delivery was yesterday, and doesn't it look yummy? Fresh lettuce, arugula, radishes (a particular favorite of my oldest), and baby bok choy.

Tonight, we are having falafel, pita, lettuce, feta, and hummus. Yum!

Enjoy the fresh bounty from where you are too!

We are coming off an unseasonably warm weekend – we hit 90 on Saturday, and the forecasted cool down didn’t happen on Sunday. This morning, we had a beautiful rain storm – I love the earthy smell and the greenness when it rains after a couple of days of heat – this is something I missed growing up in Northern California, and one of the major reasons I headed to the Northwest.

I have been fortunate to attend stamping workshops these past few months, one is a monthly commitment with my dear friend who sells CTMH, we have been working on a layout and bonus project each month, and another with a delightful woman in my neighborhood who sells Stampin Up.

This weekend was the SU workshop, next week is the CTMH. One thing that I have been discovering about myself, and getting good-naturedly teased by my co-attendees is apparently, and I’m not sure how this works, I am quite quick when it comes to assembling pre-planned projects. I am not quite to the speediness of my awesome Goddaughter, but came late and was the first one finished on Saturday.

It is an interesting thing to ponder. I suspect it is because I am not a perfectionist when it comes to my paper crafts – there’s always next time if I botch it. And, a bit of haphazardness adds to the charm, I think.

Anyway, I made eight wonderful cards on Saturday, did a bit of shopping, and am in the crafting groove, I want to finish up some pages tonight, and finish some cards I was working on this past week.
