I picked the first two tomatoes out of my garden this morning and I am very excited to eat an open faced tomato sandwich for lunch. The zucchini's have been abundant and so far (besides giving some away), I've made zucchini basil soup, chocolate zucchini bread as well as grill, stir fry and saute it. I've tried to keep up with the garden
this year and have paid more attention to watering, weeding and maintaining than in past years. I volunteered to host my garden group for a luncheon next June, so I this has given me motivation, although my desire to read a good book has been put on hold.
My Gift to You
When you signed up to receive my mailings (and thank you so much for doing so) you received a cookie recipe as a thank you. I just updated the "thank you gift" for signing up for my mailings with a tutorial on how to make a one fold gift card. Since you are already on my list, I wanted to share this tutorial with you as well. You
can view the video by clicking below, or on this link that has both the video and the card ingredients. http://mailsomethingpretty.com/one-fold-gift-card-tutorial/

Blended Seasons - August Only!
During the month of August, brand new products are available for purchase, but only during the month of August. Stampin' Up! has outdone themselves with this Blended Seasons stamp set and coordinating Framelits. I am absolutely in love with this double set, particularly because you can use it over and over for many seasons and
reasons. It is sure to become your go-to set. You can use the set alone, or if you have a Big Shot, purchase the bundle which also saves you 10% when bought together. As you will read below, the purchase of the bundle also qualifies you for a $5 coupon. Don't wait!
You can also purchase the 2nd release of Watercolor pencils during the month of August, this set is not in any catalog (yet). These pencils work beautifully with the Blended Seasons stamp set (the first color release works great too). This second release colors are: Cherry Cobbler, Flirty Flamingo, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Granny Apple
Green, Garden Green, Coastal Cabana, Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Gorgeous Grape.
You can use Watercolor Pencils on their own, but what makes them great an unique is their blending capability. Use them with either a Blender Pen or Aqua Painter, Watercolor Paper or Shimmery Paper, and Tuxedo Black Ink. Click on this Watercolor Pencils link and see all of these items displayed on the page.
Photos will be forthcoming! You will make two Morning Glory cards, two fall/autumn cards & two Christmas cards, all using this August only Blended Seasons bundle
