Summer Catch up

Every summer for as long as I can remember I have used the free time I have to catch up on my fun reading. As in reading as much I can for my own pleasure. Ever since high school all I read is for work (school required) so I cram in as much fluff fiction I can during the summer.
My goal this summer is to read twenty books. So far I have read seven, not bad considering I have been really busy doing everything else.
But since I will be having Fridays off from work soon, I plan on spending them in my pool with a book. The essence of summer indeed!
Here is some I have read thus far:

June 23rd Carnival: Lovin the craft

So my etsy shop is full of cards and Journals, and what do I make for myself???
I love to scrapbook. I like to take pictures and put them with pretty things and make fun scrapbooks big and small. Plus I make cards to give out to people I know. Birthday at work? Beth makes the card!!!
Yes my home is full of my creations....
I love making altered art. I love these scrapbooks pages and my altered frame!

My Studio by CREATEaTHOUGHT

I feel so depressed being so close to my dream art room and having it taken away just when I was almost there.
It just isn't fair!
But as you can see from my little sketch it was going to be pretty funky indeed. It would have been nice to have the computer and a window and be upstairs with the dog and sinks.
But I am destined to stay in my cluttered arted up basement...
at least for now
