Cool, right? I visited several countries in Europe, biked over 300 miles, taught my girls how to kayak, started setting some of my favorite treasures aside for an Etsy shop, visited Mackinac Island, swam like a mermaid in Lake Michigan, and full-on frolicked...with reckless abandon, even. Yeah. I said it. I frolicked. I'm a frolicker. But I realize that not everyone is able to just totally disconnect from the world for months at a time and that my absence may have been kinda weird to some of you. That does make me feel really bad, but on the other hand...life is just too short to spend staring at a computer screen if you don't HAVE to, you know? I love Shabby Blogs so much and all of you who are such amazingly awesome supporters of what we do here. Thank you!!! I also love my family and my LIFE...so thank you, also, for understanding that. :)
I'm excited to announce that I have been working on some brand spankin' new designs to add to ShabbyBlogs.com within the coming weeks. We've got a whole big fat batch of never-seen-before backgrounds and matching headers fresh from the... files they were in. If they could smell, I bet they'd smell like fudge...or gardenias...or your favorite quilt hanging on the line to dry. Eeeep! I'm so excited!!!
You know I can pretty much never blog without sharing a freebie sooooo here's a little something just for you! I thought it would be sweet for those 4th of July photos my fellow Americans will have coming up here. If you're not from the ol' U.S. of A., you can still use it though. We won't tell. :)
