I Have This Desire to Explore

I really like how these two different cards turned out.  I'm learning to use the Mirror Image Stamping Tool by Unity Stamp Co. and, needless to say, still have a lot more to learn.  Oh, I received my Tim Holtz Stamp platform and, for the life of me, cant' figure out how I ever lived without it.  I thought it was way cheaper than another stamp platform and am so in love with it.  I'm not sure if I'll ever use another stamp block again.

Small Town Fireworks Show

So, you might think that a small town wouldn't or couldn't put on a great fireworks show, however, our little town did a fantastic job at putting on a very impressive show.

It was so hot that the Fire Department had Fire Engines set up so the kids could cool off and have water competitions while doing so.

There were turtle races, questions to answer regarding the United States, hot dog eating contest, and lots of people shooting off their own fireworks.


All-in-all a very successful, hot, and fun 4th of July holiday.  I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday as well.
