It's Summertime!

"In the summertime, when the weather is high,

You can stretch right up and touch the sky"

 In The Summertime lyrics by Mungo Jerry

Normally it would have been summertime for me here at least a month but our May has been really mild, which rocks. We're all hoping it summer will be nice, too. We usually have the drapes pulled in the living room... it faces west, so we do it to keep the sun and heat out. But I opened them the other day to take some pics of my baby lovebirds playing and, wow! it was nice to have some light in the house. Am realizing now that I've not been getting enough natural light, which is weird considering I'm in Mesa AZ, right? But the light was nice and the weather's been great. Am remembering how awesome a time summer is.

It's the time of bright colors and fresh air and rocking loud music =) A time to feel foot loose and fancy free, right? Well, that's what it means to me. So here are a coupld of things from my fellow Polymer Clay Smooshers shops that remind me of summertime!

From HarrisonHollowDesigns, an adorable, bright, and cheery butterfly plant poke, you can find a whole slew of these in this wonderful shop, all different!
