Odds & Ends

I love this new paper line from Cosmo Cricket.  It's got a great vintage vibe, and neat lacey accents.

Tomorrow is the last day of school for us here -- summer has arrived!!  My goals for the summer include scrapbooking (scrapbooking and more scrapbooking -- I'm so behind!) and some personal crafting time.  I'd like to get back to stitching, and I've joined my first ever tag swap, which is exciting.  I'm also writing again, so I'm trying to find time for that.  And, of course, summer is full of down time and play time with my girls.

What are your summer plans?  Any new papers you've found for inspiration?

New Paper Sneak Peeks

Rather than wallow in the misery of demolition at my house, I'm choosing to distract myself by looking forward to all of the new paper collection releases coming out next week in conjunction with the CHA Convention.  This is a sneak peek of one of October Afternoon's new collections: "Modern Homemaker."
I am really digging this line -- love the polka dots and the flowers, and that she's wearing an apron.  Can't wait to see the rest; I think I'm going to need all of it!!
