Summer

Been absent at the blog for quite some time.  

Days spend leisurely reading is upon us, a common 

ritual here during summer.  Books are an important ingredient

for summer around here, as is pool time, lemonade 

and ice cream cones (like coffee ice cream in waffles cones).

Did, however, take the time to make a couple of bookmarks to 

match a couple of my current reads:

The Lake House by Kate Morton.  LOVED IT!  

It's her latest which was released last fall and somehow I

missed this.  Stumbled upon while searching for a different book

and promptly checked it out from my local library.  Did not

disappoint!

Bookmark using watercolor paper and using the flower image

from Butterfly Basics.  Phrase from a stamp set from 

Papertrey Ink.  Ink: Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss Pool Party and

copper embossing for the bottom part.

The Distant Hours by Kate Morton

This was Kate's third novel and I had already read it a few years back

but I couldn't remember all the details and decided to read

it again.  Still just as good as the first time!

Bookmark:  Stamp set Simply Sketched on watercolor paper, using

Elegant Eggplant color and Lost Lagoon ink with a watercolor brush.

Doodles are my own.

Friday is almost here.  Enjoy the coming weekend!
