Technically, I guess these are moths, but they sure are pretty. This new kit , Antique Entomology, comes from Margareth of SevenPlaza. You can find her lovely work on Ko-Fi. My tags were inspired by Crafty by Toni. You can also find both of these talented ladies on YouTube.

Grungy library pockets
You may remember Mass Make March when we made lots and lots of projects in multiples. These library pockets made from file folders were one of those makes, and today I'm sharing how I have embellished some of them using one of the newest stamp set releases from Crafty by Toni. This stamp set has risen to my list of all time faves. You can find it in Toni's Etsy shop.
Thanks for checking in!

Happy July, everyone!
I'm home from a month in sunny San Diego. It's been a fun vacation with my sister, plus we made a quick trip to visit the folks before settling back in here at home. With summer in full swing, I'm glad to be back to my craft space and ready to start creating again.

The San Diego Padres are excited to launch their Legacy Brick Program as part of their Gallagher Square renovation project celebrating Petco Park’s 20th Anniversary in 2024. Fans will now have the opportunity to cement their legacy at America’s #1 ballpark by customizing an engraved brick to be placed in the new Tony Gwynn Terrace viewing deck near the iconic “Mr. Padre” statue.
Fans who purchased bricks can now find their bricks on the Tony Gwynn Terrace at Gallagher Square.
And this is my nephew's brick. :) He is 13.
We always enjoy our tasty bevs whenever we are together. This was at Marieta's, our fave Mexican restaurant. This was in the airport lounge as we waited for our flight home. Oh, I forgot to mention, she flew home with me so we could both go see the folks for a bit.

A little hiatus ...
Hello crafty friends. I want to take a minute to let you know I'll be out of the studio through the end of June as I head to sunny San Diego to visit my sister. So rather than crafting, I'll be vacationing, playing tons of Yahtzee, and likely (doing tons of) day drinking. LOL! Hubsy will be on his own to forage for sustenance in my absence. Fridge and pantry have been stocked, as well as his snack drawer, which I presume will be the mainstay of his diet if he acts normally while I'm away. LOL! I won't be completely "off the grid" but I will be away from the craft stash and the blog.
In case you missed it, yesterday was my birthday. Happy birthday to me...and many more! 😁
See you in July!
