Well.....I just got back from 5 days in Maine......southern, coastal Maine....lighthouses, the ocean, beaches, delicious seafood and...............rain, rain, rain, rain and RAIN. We have been doing this trip in one form or another for 40 years (yes, I am OLD!!!). Before this trip, we had only experienced ONE truly rainy day. So, despite this week's total rainout, I am really not going to complain as our average is still doing pretty good. I did manage a visit to a great stamping store on Rte. 1 in Kittery called Maine-ly Stamps. The owners are just the nicest people and the husband is a fabulous artist with Stampscape stamps. I bought one Magenta unmounted set and two mounted sentiments about the sea (of course!!) I was also given a third ocean sentiment by my dear friends on the trip.
The card I am sharing today is one made using There She Goes newly released set called Life's a Beach. Figured that had a connection with this posting, although we surely did not spend time on the beach in this weather....lol!!!!
Hope you all have had a great day. Maybe you even missed my mostly daily posts.....lol...maybe a little bit. I am hoping to get some stamping done this weekend. Happy Fourth of July!!!!
