That's what my summer looks like so far. 

And this is what I look like during windy days in Manhattan Beach.
I don't do much crafting lately, except for work things. Being an art teacher twice a week for kids ages 7-12 is so much fun and rewarding. I really like how all the memories of doing the same crafts always rush back in class. It is pretty much amazing. 

Beach tomorrow!
Washington next week!
Portland the week after!
Back to Washington the week after that!
