End of Summer Vacation

Much to my surprise Summer Vacation is over in Arizona. The grand kids will be going back to school on Monday. We have spent the last week doing all the fun things I had planned the beginning of summer break...but some how ran out of time.

We took a road trip all the way in to Mesa to go to the Arizona Museum for Youth to see their Monster Exhibit.

I dug out all the arts and craft projects that I was saving for an "I don't have anything to do" moment...

And finished them all...

They are off for another school year...which isn't nearly as fun as Granny's house.

I got an Award!

Best thing that happened to me all day...I received an

Kreativ Blog Award from Tanya Watts, a wonderful mixed media, scrapbook and altered art designer in Belgium.

Thank you Tanya!

The rules:

1. The winner may put the logo on their blog

2. Put a link to the person who sent you the award

3. Nominate 5 blogs for the award.

I'm going to pass it along to ...

Flippinpest
An designer from Scotland. She always has such lovely mixed media art on her site, it's fun to see what she will do next.

Lindsey

Is not only a great paper artist and but she creates wonderful solder ornaments.

Sheri

She has to be the fastest scrapbooker there is, and all her design are such fun...and she is a cat lover too!
Sandy

Has the most wonderful old photos and creative art on her blog.
Lisa
Is just getting started in the blog world, and really working it! She designs (among other things) these great Palo Verde Gals. And Lisa lives in Gilbert so that makes us neighbors.

If Tanya hadn't already given Mike the Great the award, I would have given it to him. Mike makes all us Mystic Paper groupies look good.

So take at peek at these artist they are all very talented, and such fun to visit their blogs!

PS...thank you to my niece Sarah in Idaho, that talked me through, over the phone on how to cut and paste my blog award!
