Mini Friendship Blog Hop! blog candy give a way, Skittles update and more!!

Hello Crafty friends!! We had our last day of school this past Thursday and we are officially on summer break!! Whoot Whoot!! I am looking forward to not having such a strict routine this summer. Looking ahead we already have a jam packed summer but as always I am hopeful that crafting will be included in there!!

I have a few updates to share, first off,  so sorry that my visits have been so few these last few weeks! Most of you know I am raising two young teens... and well.... enough said right?? So my time in front of the computer is limited, but with summer here I am planning on getting back into a better routine. I truly appreciate everyone that continues to stop over and takes the time to comment, I know how busy everyone is these days!

Please join the great challenges that are offered on the Design Teams that I am on; 3 Girl Jam and Docerela. They both offer up fun and easy challenges with prizes to be won!

I will be releasing a set of new skittle colors this summer!

 Here was my last update:

I am completely sold out of the Summer and Desert Skittle Release. I will not be re-creating the glittered colored options so I am re-releasing a new Summer/Desert Package with similar colors. They are now available for sale below or you can see additional options in my shop!

I love these colors!
