Baby It’s Hot Outside

Heat, ma'am! it was so dreadful here, that I found there was nothing left for it
but to take off my flesh and sit in my bones. 
            ~Sydney Smith, Lady Holland's Memoir

I'm still digging myself out from underneath the boxes (yes, Still!), but I'm doing it under the comfort of air conditioning and ceiling fans. Rumor has it, it's Hot! Everywhere! It's So Hot . . .

HOW HOT IS IT?

My cousin in Indianapolis (whaz up, 'Lainie) sent me this . . .

Tiffany Richards posted on the Paper Garden Projects Group that it's the kind of hot in Georgia "where your pants are wet when you get out of the car! There's nothing worse than a swamp butt!" What a riot!

Cathy over at Paper Garden Projects has a way to help you get away from all this heat. She wants to know what you all think about digital stamps. Just for commenting with your opinion, you can win this fun Kraftin' Kimmie summer stamp. Don't comment here at my place because, while I'd love to hear your opinion, it won't get you a chance at the stamp. Grab some cold tea, Long Island Tea if you can swing it, and hop skip to Cathy's place.

Are you as amazed as I am at how fast May has come and gone? It's already time for the Paper Garden Projects Fourth Friday Fun Challenge. This month we're celebrating our frilly, feminine sides. So, you know me, I sometimes like to go a little overboard, and this Kraftin' Kimmie stamp really calls for unabandoned girliness (even a little crystal jewelry and eye makeup).

I hope you'll play along with our girls-only fun. Just pop over to the Paper Garden Projects blog and add the link for your project by midnight Friday, June 4. One entry will win the Kraftin Kimmie stamp called Clara and the Bird.

Recipe

The makers of this stamp I used, Kraftin' Kimmie, are running a challenge to add little charm to our projects, "How Charming,' so I added a charm to a Making Memories vintage trinket pin. I used the Get Sketchy Card Challenge #39 sketch for my map.
