New Sand and Sea Goodies + More‏

Happy holiday weekend everyone! I'm really excited about the new Sand and Sea goodies this week. Three styles of boat Stand-Ups (reminiscent of fabulous vintage toys), gorgeous map Collage Sheets, beautiful beads, and more. I'm definitely ready to dive in and play with the new Stand-Ups! You can check it out HERE.

As you can tell from the new goodies, I've been feeling very beachy lately. (snicker)
Recently I spent some time decorating my covered back porch area, shown above and below. Even in Indiana, you can feel like you're close to the ocean. I've even been collecting Seashells!
