Weather woes

The weatherman is messing with our heads here. I know, everyone's talking about it, but it's enough to depress even the most optimistic person. (that would be me) After enduring massive amounts of snow this past winter, I was looking forward to a lovely hot & sunny summer, but so far it's been a bust. It's rained almost every single day this month, and most of June too. The kids and I are supposed to go stay with a friend tomorrow at her cottage, and because getting there entails crossing the lake by boat, with the 40 mm of rain we're supposedly going to be pelted with tomorrow, it's not looking good. I tried to get a pic from the weather network's website on here, but can't get it to work- let's just say that the 10 day long range forecast is enough to make me want to move to Arizona! While we were in Maine, we had only 2 1/2 good days of beach weather. For me, beach weather means laying on the sand, reading a good book with a hard ice tea next to me, and sweating enough to make me have to dunk myself into the frigid water every 20 minutes or so, but I only managed to wade up to my waist a few times on the days that were hot. We did, however, enjoy many beautiful morning walks on the beach in the fog, ( see above photo) which was lovely, albeit chilly and damp. It was amazing to be able to walk there in 1 minute. We took day trips to Boston and Portland b/c of the rain, and got stuck outside of Boston in one of the heaviest downfalls I've ever seen. But it was cool actually visiting 2 beautiful cities, and it was thanks to the rain that we went, because if it had been hot and sunny, you know where I would have been. ;)

I'm not in a blogging mood lately. I've been scrapping up a storm for assignments, and am gladly taking a little breather from scrapping for the next few days. I did however get my hands on some of the new AC stuff ( no, did not receive the box yet, but I'm hoping and praying it's soon!) and man, this is probably my most fave collection ever from what I've seen. It's pure deliciousness. Hopefully by the weekend, I'll have enough mojo back to actually use some of it!Speaking of American Crafts, if you haven't checked out the DT's stuff on the blog using their fab Kid's line, go now! Some totally cute projects there.

And lastly, a huge congrats to my uber talented friend Moon who made the AC team earlier this week -I'm seriously thrilled for her!
