Lovely friends, how was your week? I am officially on summer vacation, so I couldn’t be in a more blissful state of calm and awesomeness. I think I shall break out the Barq’s and Peppermint Patties this weekend in celebration, what do you think? Oh, that reminds me…check out my post on The Bright Side Project if you haven’t already.
In blog-related news, what do you think of the new summer-themed header? I owe a huge thank you to Lissa, who didn’t seem to mind my sending her a bunch of photos because I couldn’t decide on one I liked and for being so patient!

Super-fun links! Love the summer banner, and what's cuter than a donkey in a boat?! I don't really have any weekend plans, but for the usualy estate sale-ing. I may work in the garden a bit, and take in a minor league baseball game. Have a great weekend Mel, and so happy for you that you're on summer break!
