August is almost over, but I'm wishfully thinking that summer will last a few more months. There is no better time of year to me than when ice cream counts as dinner, jumping in the lake counts as exercise, and weekends are spent lying out in the sun and taking road trips.

I am looking forward to fall though as it will bring lots of travel and new projects, including gearing up for holiday art shows which might be my other favorite time of year. I've already started on working on building up my holiday inventory and organizing my show schedule for December! That means lots of time on the printing press, and even more time folding and packaging cards.

But here's to soaking up the last few weeks of sunshine, grilled hamburgers and late nights outside! Happy Labor Day weekend!
