I thought it would be fun to kick off the summer with some blog candy!




About 35 different tags!

And...
Six handmade stick pin embellishments:

I would love for you to blog or sidebar my candy but it is not required!

Summer is here in Arizona! And we are already expected to hit 108 this week!

We are a very active family so it is hard for us to stay inside all summer long, so we walk almost every night to get acclimated to the hot weather that is coming.

Here is my pup leading the way:

We live behind acres of corn and hay fields:

We walk about 4 miles, it is great family time :)

The summer also brings a lot of Un-invited guests:


I have been Mom " The Scorpion Slayer" three times this week!!

Happy Summer!!

    Summer's here in FL too! It's been over 100, which is really unusual for us. I don't know if I could handle slaying scorpions!

    You are so sweet to want to give back!!! What a great start to the summer! I love the view in the pics. I will have to show them to my DH. He used to live in Tuscon when he was little and talks about it often. Man, I hate spiders when they sneak up on me. I don't know what I would do if I had to worry about scorpions. EEEKK!!!

    Carri you are so sweet! My brother lives in AZ and always tells me how hot it is there. I would die if I saw a scorpion- they are nasty looking little things! I love your blog and always enjoy reading it and seeing all of your wonderful creations!
    Have a great day!

    It has been really hot here too!! We have been reaching 100 almost everyday. I have been in the pool only twice and the water already feels like bath water from the heat.

    OMG! Scorpian slaying would freak me out! ha
    Walking in the evenings is such a great idea. It gets super hot here too in Vegas (not yet though) and we are outside mostly in the morning and evening. We swim in the pool after dinner most nights!
    You know I'm a follower and I will go post about your giveaway right now! Hugs!

    Carri, what a beautiful part of the country you live in! The pictures are great (except for that scorpion!) Those temps are a bit too much for me; although we're supposed to reach 99 tomorrow here in the East! Love following your blog and seeing your creations.--Pat

    I can't believe you found a scorpian in your ice tea! Oh my gosh that's just awful! I'm so thankful we don't have those here, but we do have other critters that are just not fun either. Cute cute tags and I hope to win! I'm already a follower of your blog and have been for a while. Thanks you slayer you....LOL.
