It's hard to believe it's July already. When I realized how busy we'd been in June, it's no wonder the time goes flying by. I wanted to get this layout done before we leave tomorrow to spend a long weekend with my brother and attend my niece's wedding on Friday.
The journaling on the homemade tag reads:
June, like most months, was busy with many commitments and social events. We saw “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel” which we enjoyed, and GeVa’s production of “Company” which we loved. I went to a lecture by Stephen Johnson at The Eastman House, and attended a workshop on Speedlite flash attachments.
Matt was home for a long weekend over Father’s Day and we celebrated with dinner at The North Shore Grill. It was a perfect evening to sit on the deck overlooking Conesus Lake. Tracy and I had dinner for the first time at Zeppa Grill, and used our Groupon for dinner at The Wintonaire one night. We had dinner with Bill and Tina, Bob and Cathy, and Bill and Beryl. I lunched with Mary, Marie, Karen, and MaryEllen one afternoon, and had lunch with Jane, Sue Fay, and dinner with Karen. We went to Rod’s retirement dinner.
I completed three books: “The Call,” “The Sisters Brothers,” and “Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake.” Although I didn’t manage a layout a day as I hoped, I did complete 10 layouts, a mini-album for our Oregon trip, and made (and sent) 20 cards.
I leased a new Forester. The only new feature on it is Blue Tooth, but I’m already in love with it. I have all my music on a flash drive and can listen to any of it by using the controls in the car. A phone call automatically comes in on the speaker, no need for an ear piece.
The Triple Play Grant committee met and I completed the interviews and site visit for the grant application from Focus On The Children. Evaluating grant proposals is definitely a new challenge, but one I ended up enjoying.
Most of the supplies for the layout came in a Studio Calico kit. The patterned papers are from Studio Calico and Basic Grey. The scalloped border I cut with the medium scallop die from Papertrey Ink. The brad is Basic Grey and the star clip came in the kit and I'm not sure of the manufacturer. The alpha is from Paper Studio.
If you're celebrating the Fourth of July, make it a safe one!
