monthly wrap-up: July

Hello there lovelies! I'd like to thank the lovely ladies who helped keep the blog going while I was off camping: Annabel, Kitty, and Jessie. Their contributions were amazing and a pleasure to read. I'm back here on the blog for a super short time -- in fact, tomorrow I'm heading out for the last vacay of the summer! Universal Studios, in fact! I'll be gone Wednesday through Sunday and I know I've been gone for quite a bit lately with all the little vacations I've taken and this one was a bit of a surprise actually and I hadn't expected it. But no worries, this is my last one...

Sorry for all my chit-chat. Anyway, July's been an awesome month and although I haven't been posting as much, I promise to post a bit more next month with some nice high quality posts. I really want to create a nice little corner on the internet for you to visit and I strive to make it nice for you all, my readers.

Here's a few of my favorite posts this month:

Scalloped edge purse DIY from Scathingly Brilliant

Brights. from Paper Crowns

10 places to get inspired from A Beautiful Mess

A new blog I've found this month and just loved:

Deer Circus - this blog is so lovely and the photos are beautiful. Not to mention how nicely the posts are written! I'm so glad I found it and a new reader. Make sure to check it out!

Something exciting that happened this month:

I found my little Brownie vintage camera! Yay! I thought I had lost it -- and where did I find it? In my little craft cabinet, out of all places. Unfortunately, it doesn't take any photos, but I plan on looking for one that does. Perhaps next month's venture?

Thanks again for such a great month, I promise you August will be better! I'll be back Monday with a post with pictures from my vacay and week's worth of fabulous posts!
