Busy in so many ways in my life. Work is crazy this time of year. Busy working on my DT projects, busy with the remodel, and since CHA is next week we've been busy checking out all the latest and greatest. Seen anything you like? We're not going to Chicago, so we've been burning up the internet with emails and pictures trying to put together some really FAB kits. So far we've worked up about 5 kits. Nothing totally set in stone , but looks good so far.
Here are a few of my favorite pieces so far....
okay I can't choose...LOVE this whole collection by Crate Paper!
and these stars are DIVINE and those colors! Speaking of Jillibean have you seen some of the new sprouts and alphas?
CHA is more like CHA-ching, CHA-ching in my wallet!
Sitting here right now trying to come up with something creative for my Friday CC post...had to walk away last night. It just wasn't flowing. Got something started tonight now I need to decide how to finish it off and then what am I going to say about it?
Remodel update: Rough plumbing & electrical are complete. By next weekend we should be painting so I'm here right now...
Trying to decide on a paint color! (Sorry the picture isn't that good...cellphone camera) The glass tiles are just accents in the shower area. The rest of the tiles are a whiteish stone in the shower, cabinetry is black. There are about 4 colors on these 2 swatches that are in the running. Ugh!

So it's been awhile...
I get my weekly post in on the CC blog and then just never get around to coming over here and posting something. Anyway let's see it's a new month, can you believe it's July already?
So far summer vacation has been running smoothly around here. Both kids attended a soccer camp run by Elizabethtown College's soccer coach and some players. Even though it was so very hot they both enjoyed it, Fritz has spent a week away at Boy Scout Camp and then he left today to go to Myrtle Beach and attend a golf camp for a week thanks to his grandmother.
Last weekend Fritz & Dan started gutting our master bathroom...
Dan is actually finishing ripping it all out today. Wednesday I went shopping with the designer who works for our friend who is doing the actual remodel. Picked out flooring and tiles for the shower. On Monday we had settled on cabinetry, vanity top, and fixtures. I believe later this week they will begin putting it back together. Not something we had actually planned to do this summer, but when your tiles begin falling off the wall in the shower you know it has to be done. Truthfully I'm glad to be rid of this bathroom it was truly very ugly!
So on to the creative side...
This past week of "reveal week" on the Coordinates Collections blog. You can see this layout and details on my other projects using the July Parade kit here.
Yesterday I got a box of my August goodies delivered. In addition to the kit I picked up these...
Six new colors to add to my collection...marshmallow,cinder,denim blue, burnt red, lemon zest, and key lime. Looking forward to using them in some upcoming projects.
I am working with the "Fun in the Sun" kit for August, it is gorgeous and I really can't wait to work with these...
Self-adhesive canvas borders by Little Yellow Bicycle. I think there are 6 different designs and everyone gets 3 in their kit.
Today I plan on doing a little cleaning of the scrap room. Have quite a few layouts that need to be put in albums and then I want to start looking through pictures to go with this fabulous kit.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
Talk later.
