I don't know how the weather is in your part of the woods, but here in Chicago.....it is very cool and rainy! Yesterday and today, the high was in the low 60's and rain. We have gotten a couple of warm "teaser" days here and there......but that's it! I can not tell you how much I want it to get sunny and HOT! (Remind me of these words around mid August will ya?) I want to sip my lemonade (or other cold beverage ; ) by the pool. I want my windows open and the curtains blowing in the breeze. (Unlike tonight where I am tempted to put my heat on!) I WANT SUMMER!!!!
Here is Riley lounging in his hammock between the palm trees, and having
HIS cold beverage. Mai Tai maybe?
Nothing says summer like an umbrella drink! : )
Image colored with Copics, paper by DCWV Citrus pack, and the sand is actually embossing powder called..........sand!
Don't forget, you have one more day to enter my blog candy! Drawing will be held on Friday evening. Go
HERE if you'd like a chance to win!
Off to bed I go.....to dream sunny thoughts! : )

Hi Michele, I have to agree with you about the weather. Ever since the calender said spring it has been snowy or rainy every weekend. I'm ready for some drier weather! Love your card. What cool embossing powder and such a cute stamp. Love the mai tai. Thanks for all your inspiration. Linda
