:: HOT~HOT~HOT!! ::
And I do mean friggin’ hot! We have had miserable temps here this week. We’ve been breaking “all-time” high records! The last two days have been 104 as the “official” high, but the thermometer on our covered porch was 108! Just miserable I tell ya! It’s supposed to drop back down in the 90s tomorrow - sweet relief! Well, that’s still hot, but not as bad. Our poor AC hasn’t even shut off in the last three days! Even at 11:30 last night it was still 88 degrees!
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Don’t forget about the Clearance Sale I have going on! There are 46 items marked 50% OFF!
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I also have some fun new stuff in the YDD the store this week? Great stuff for Summer!
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::
With all this miserable heat, I wanted to share a free mini set with you with some refreshing colors!
NOTE: If you downloaded this before 5:45 EST on Friday, the striped paper is missing from your zip file. I have uploaded the correct file and corrected the link below. THIS DOWNLOAD IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. 
HERE is the download link. PLEASE DO NOT SHARE MY LINKS WITH OTHERS OR IN YAHOO GROUPS. DON’T SUPPORT PIRACY! See - it’s on every post for a freebie! Have a wonderful weekend and STAY COOL! Please leave me some love if you download the freebie! ![]()

That looks VERY refreshing and COOL! Thanks so much! We normally have hot summers, but we’ve had so much rain here in North Texas that we’ve had below average temperatures — until NOW! With 100+ heat, add humidity, and it’s stifling!! Stay cool!

So sorry that you are sweltering! Temps haven’t been as bad here, but a tornado hit next to my brother’s house yesterday. We’ve got to help him clean up all the down trees and branches. I think that I’d prefer the hot to a breeze like that one! New stuff looks so fun and cheery, and thank you for the freebie.
