Been a while, huh?

Hello everyone! I just realized as I was reading other blogger's rants and wishes from today, that I have my own blog I have ignored for quite some time! Who knew!?
It's good to be here, and be able to update you on what you have missed.
I have been naughty lately. Not crafting as much as I would like, but trying my hardest.
My husband and I, along with my Mom and Dad just got back from a week long vacation in New Jersey. We stayed at the Trump Plaza Hotel in Atlantic City. Right on the boardwalk, and it was beautiful! AC was not really what I expected. I do say it's definitely no Vegas, but the place was beautiful. Our hotel was amazing, and so was the food. I love vacation for the food alone.
This weekend, my sister-in-law and a mutual friend of ours will be throwing a yard sale at my house. We plan to drink silly frozen girly drinks and get a little tipsy all the while manning money and sitting in the sun. I couldn't be happier. I actually plan on crafting a few things Friday during our sitting because my sister-in-law, Beth, will be bringing my 8 year old niece and I found a few fun things online I thought she might enjoy doing in the summer sun. One of the summer fun things I found was this awesome Water blob tutorial by Clumsy Crafter. It's soooo neat!

I highly recommend you check this out and see what you can do with a clear plastic tarp and duct tape and a lot little water!

I found so many other cool ideas for summer fun. I found one that I think Paige would love.
It's using Mountain Dew and two other household items.
Check out the link to make your own glow bottle!
I found a link to a youtube video that shows you exactly what to do. It even shows them writing on the grass with it!
Check this out here.

Well that's all I have for today. See ya tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of your holiday!
