Up Up and Away

Summer is here in full swing, and we all like to get out there and enjoy some fun family time, don't we? Well, I know this family does, so last weekend we headed to a Hot Air Balloon Festival, and fun was had by all. None of us had ever been to one of these festivals, and boy we were happy that we didn't miss this one. The balloons were all so beautiful, with all the colors and designs. We watched as some of them went up and away...ahhh what an outstanding site that was. Then we watch others light up as the sun went down. Now this was just as beautiful, and one awesome family fun night came to an end. If a festival comes near you, make plans to attend, I don't think you will be disappointed.
                                    Blessings,
                                      Linda















                            A great way to spend a Father's Day
                                    weekend with his girls!

Both of these projects caught my eye, and I just had to make sure you didn't miss them, so hop over to her blog to read all the details on how she made them. Okay, I hope all of you have your THRIFTY ideas and treasures ready to share with us this week, so I will see ya at the party on Monday. Another wonderful French giveaway will be up for grabs this week, trust me, you don't want to miss it.
