Looking out my window this morning and enjoying the sunrise and a little fog!  The sun is a pretty pink still - sadly, from the fires on the West Coast.  The smoke from the West Coast fires must be horrible for the people living there as the air quality here in Colorado is suffering.  My thoughts go to the West Coast this morning in hopes that moisture will come soon to help snuff the fires out.          

Hope Box - August 2021 Paper Pumpkin Kit

August 3!  Summer is marching on.  Hard to believe the children in my neighborhood head back to school in a couple of weeks - wow!  I harvested 3 bags of basil on Saturday.  Sunday I made 7 small bowls of pesto - 1st time I every tired that.  I froze them - can't wait to try it out.  Ideas for basil or pesto?  I would love to hear your recipes and ideas.    

Last Friday's Monthly Kit Gathering was a great time of crafting and friendship!  We had a group of 4 and we all had different kits.  Carrie had the For the Guys Card Kit, Michelle had the Precious Parcel Card Kit, Diana had the Batter Up Paper Pumpkin Kit, and I had the A Little Smile Card Kit.  It was so amazing to see what each of us created.  We had some strawberry angel food cake and then the storm hit!  It rained cats and dogs!   Poor Carrie, Michelle and Diana got soaked getting to their cars - Carrie and Michelle had a scary ride home!
