T Stands for More Patriotism

 ⁴ Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,

and into his courts with praise:
be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
⁵ For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting;
and his truth endureth to all generations. Psalms 100:4-5

Hello everyone!  Welcome!  Just one more week to our big reveal and anniversary party over at Altered Book Lover with Bleubeard & Elizabeth!  Are you ready?  My swap partner and I are ready and have been ready for a month!  We didn't want to miss the big celebration. As our hostess, Elizabeth reminded us last week, it will be our 10th!  So, she said besides some of us doing a swap that we should post something with a 10 on our post, since it is the tenth anniversary of TSFT.  So be thinking what you will do for that.  Just another way to make it special!  Hope you all can come next week.

We finally got some rain!  Thank you, Lord.  We needed it so bad.  Everything was just drying up.  For a whole week, I didn't get much walking in.  I was in my craft room more!  I have been junk journaling.  I am doing the July Challenge with DearJulieJulie on You Tube.  Another thing I have been doing is making samples for our big challenge at SplitcoastStampers.  Once a year we have DTGD, (Dare To Get Dirty).  It  is about 40 special challenges over a week's time for our Fan Club members.  I am one of the hostesses, so am trying to make samples for the other hostesses.  It will go live July 22nd.  Another project that I am working on is our VSBN (Virtual Scrapbook Night) Summer Challenges.  The Summer will go quickly with all of this going on, besides life happening!  

I will show you a few of my Junk Journal projects:

We were to make three tags as one of our elements.  We have a choice of bases, for example: Mystery, wrinkled, bubble, envelope, scrap pad, Texture, noisy, map, etc.  For these I used mystery.  Each tag has something hidden.  The first one is a hidden journal card, if you pull the top off; the middle has a waterfall inside if you untie and open it up; the third has a pocket in the side and inside is a little journal booklet.  I also used DJJ's digitals, planner papers, buttons, lace, & postage stamps & trims.  These will go in the journal when finished.

I thought I would show the July decorations that my hair stylist puts up.  She is so good about putting up decorations each month, and so good at it.

Now for my ticket to TSFT.  The only requirement to join T Stands for Tuesday over at Altered Book Lover is to have a beverage reference in your blog post, then you can link to Elizabeth's blog and visit the rest of the t gang all over the globe and see what they are all doing.  We hope you will join us: T Stands For Tuesday.

This is a photo from February 2015 from our trip to Kuai.  We took a Kayak trip and then a hike up to a waterfall, where we stopped and ate a lunch.  I swam in the pool by the waterfall.

Thank you for stopping by! I am thankful for each one of you. I hope you have a great week!  See you next time, dear friends.
