{sunshine & summertime}

Happy Memorial Day to you!!!
I love these summer holidays.....cook-outs, sunshine, friends, children......just so much fun:)
Just look at all the flowers starting to bloom.
Everything looks prettier when the flowers start to bloom!
I even had time to do a little craft this weekend......
and the best thing about summer is being able to do a little crafting OUTSIDE:)

Even the birdies need a beachy little place to raise their babies:)
Simple and cute! Just paint a preformed birdhouse and hot glue some shells on it!
Yesterday we went up to our friends house!
Did I mention they live on a local lake! How nice:)
We had so much fun.......
I definately feel so lucky to have such wonderful friends.
It sure makes life all the better when you surround yourself with other positive, happy and caring people:)
And she has the cutest children:)
Children growing up on the lake.......how nice! They will sure be thankful for that someday..
I like these photos....I should call it.....before the sun and after:)

Should have followed the advice of
Jane of Artfully Graced and wore a little sunscreen:)
Owell.....it isn't very often that we actually get to see the sun here in Indiana.
Here I am dreaming of the when simpledaisy takes off enough for me to buy....

this.....

Ok...probably not realistic. But hey a girl's gotta dream, right!?!?!?
But really all I ever need in life is a little sunshine and some flip flops:)


All in all......we had ourselves one fabulous day!
Thanks Jeff & Jamie.....we are so lucky to have such wonderful people in our lives:)
And my husband and I .........
If you knew my husband then you'd know by the smile on his face......that he too had a really fun day:)
Hope you had a really great Memorial Day weekend too!
See you next week for the simpledaisy give-away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. Glad you had a wonderful holiday!
    I was privileged to have all of my boys here for an impromptu cookout last night...one was visiting, one finished his gig early, and the third had stopped in to pick up his dog (he'd been in Atlanta, meeting his prospective FIL!). All arrived at the same time...what fun!!!

    Love the turquoise sandals. Are these one of your creations?
    Smiles,
    Jane (artfully graced)

    ps YES...you should have used sunscreen! (Thanks for the mention!) Even when you think you do not need it...you DO!

  7. beautiful photos, I love that little bird house! Such a sweet idea. Shells are such fun and make everything happy. Love the picture of the feet, very well composed. I wish I had spent more time exploring the bend when I lived there. I did cme across this fun lake in Cassopolis, that was a fun find. Always so many things in your posts, I always find myself revisit during the week to get that simpledaisy vibe!

  12. What fun! You are a very pretty young lady with a handsome hubby! Love seeing photos and learning more about you! Love your blog! ♥

  13. Your flowers make me smile!

    Just wanted to let you know I posted your giveaway on my blog. I've won so many lately, I'm not going to join in, but that bracelet is FABULOUS!

    FYI, when you glue those seashells on use GOOP glue, the one for plumbers. It will stand up so much better than hot glue, especially outside.

    Oh, and before I go, your husband is a cutie!
