Thinking of Christmas in July? I know I'm dreaming of cooler weather, cookies and decorated trees. And did I mention cooler weather? Summer in the desert (without AC) can be a trying experience. But better weather is coming, and if you need a little help thinking cool thoughts, revist these assets for my Merry & Bright kit from last Christmas.

Hi Everyone! I don't know about you, but summer has been busy! But things are starting to calm down and my husband built me a new computer! It was about time too, because my old one barely worked. The new one is a speedy demon though, so hoepfully you'll be seeing lots of new things here now that I don't have to wait around for the machinery!

The kits based on my trip through Europe are starting to wind down. Just a few more. This new one is Vienna. Leave a comment if you'd like to win the whole kit. I'll pick a winner on 7/15.

I arrived home from Tunisia a few days ago. It was a wonderful trip and now I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. Hopefully work will start to heat up on the new site, which fingers crossed will be up soon. I'll be talking more about that when we get closer to actually launching. But for now here are a few pictures from the trip.

Tunisia has lots of unique sodas, as well as the classics.

Those small dots in the ocean are us enjoying a swim right in front of the house we stayed at in Mahadia; enjoying some of the clearest sea water I've swam in.

Tomorrow is an exciting day. I'll be traveling with my husband and his family to Tunisia, which is where my husband and his siblings were born. He hasn't been back for many years, and I've never been, so I'm excited to see this part of his early life. Things should still be running here on the site while I'm away, but I'll be without my computer, so if anything goes wrong, just hang tight!
