A couple of days ago, the weather was so beautiful, so we thought it would be fun to play in the park. The dogs had a blast, and I loved getting some fresh air.

On the way to the park, Hilo wished he could be co-pilot.

What’s a girl to do on a beautiful day?! Visit my favorite local scrapbook store, of course! Unfortunately, they are closing next month. I seriously don’t know where I’m going to shop for my supplies now.

The weather has been way too hot, so we headed toward the California coast where it’s much cooler. We are so fortunate to live less than an hour away from the beaches, so we decided to hit up Santa Cruz instead of Half Moon Bay this time. We decided to play at the Boardwalk. …and what a beautiful day it was!

Go after 5pm on Tuesdays - Almost everything is $.75! ...even the rides!

Go after 5pm on Tuesdays - Almost everything is $.75! Hot dogs, drinks, and even the rides! Oh, and cheap cotton candy too!

…and on a beautiful day, I decided to create a big mess in the family room instead of the scrap room. I had all of my scrap supplies scattered all over the floor, and I cranked out a layout and a mini album!

Scrap Outside the Box is challenging YOU to use coffee filters. Here’s my take on that challenge:

Oh, and the August sneak peak of Kraft Girl Kits was posted! I can’t wait to get my hands all over this one.

Today, on this beautiful day, I plan on going more furniture shopping. I also have to return a dress I bought at the mall that I know I’m never going to wear, haha. Did I just say “mall”?! I guess on this beautiful day, I’m going to go girly girl shopping too!

Submit to the journal call. I want to see your work printed and acknowledged!

Enjoy YOUR beautiful day!

Hugs,
