I can’t believe it is the last week of school! The school year seemed so long when I was a kid. Now, it feel like it passes in the blink of an eye. We are busily making plans for fencing camp, horseback riding, staying with Grandma and visiting family in Virginia.
Once again, a Whimsy & Stars Studio image made me think of my daughter. Although we don’t live near an ocean, we do not live too far from Lake Michigan. I grew up about 30 blocks from the lake but now live about 20 miles away. I am still amazed at how different the weather can be when you are at the lakefront. On Memorial day, it was over 80-degrees at our house. We drove down to the lake front to take a walk and it was just 60-degrees. So, to get to the point, I won’t be surprised to see my daughter dressed like this, down at the lakefront over the summer.
Did you know that Mabelle is going to giving away a limited time freebie on June 7th? To get all the details make sure you follow the Whimsy & Stars Studio blog and the Whimsy & Stars Studio group on Facebook.
Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful week!
