I also got a bonus set of stamps from Samantha's online crop. It is "Botanical Blooms" and I love it! I can't wait to use all three sets!

Also this month, it looks like Hero Arts is launching a new look to their website! Check it out July 15! I'm sure it will be great! I love Hero Arts stamps too! They have some great ones!

Finally, here is a pic for a Vintage Inchies doll Swap I did recently! This is Roxie Road Trip and she was my August Doll. We had 12 people in our swap and we each took a month of the year and made a vintage doll! I chose August! I had a really hard time with this swap, but it was lots of fun!

Wow...July and lots of fun!

Well, I am now back from vacation and I think I need a vacation from my vacation! LOL We had a great time and now it's July! Wow...where had the first half of this year gone?
