Hi everyone. Can you believe it is already August 1? Around here we say nothing goes faster than July but August. Not sure if that is a local saying or not. And it's true. August flies.
Thought I would share some of my favorite July quick warm ups from my calendar journal.
And I am going to link this post to Bleubeard and Elizabeth's new theme for August for Art Journal Journey. The theme is count your blessings. There's a whole month of blessing here.
I'm still in slow hang out mode. Enjoying the fruits of my garden.
I made some pickles the other day.
And chocolate zucchini bread yesterday.
This was a recipe from my Mom.
I'm enjoying this slow mode. Gardening, reading, a little art. Still in studio cleaning mode-maybe I will get it done before school starts later this month.
August. Wow. Bring it on.
Thanks for visiting.

Sounds like a good way to live, slow mode is better than not enough time. The journal pages are all wonderful, you have been busy. Still too hot to move here. Hugs, Valerie
I loved looking at your calendar pages.The dog at the bow of the boat made me smile. Good way to start the hump day. I'm waiting for Himself's cucumbers to start growing so I can make some freezer pickles. Pretty pan you used for the zucchini bread/cake. Enjoy your day
Oh, how wonderful! A family keepsake for sure. I think a chocolate zucchini cake sound fabulous. I’m off to jot down that recipe!

Being laid back is a peaceful way to live :) That chocolate zucchini bread looks delicious!
You are truly blessed, Erika. I think each of your pages shows how many blessings have come into your life, from owning a boat you and your husband can take on the lake, to your wonderful trips anywhere you choose. Freedom to choose. This is a fabulous first entry for my theme at Art Journal Journey this month. Thank you.
I adore your fabulous pages! So lovely made and I am in awe of Maddie as commander!
I eat zucchinis since two weeks- have my own and got so much from other gardeners as well. My hubby calls me Susi Zucchini meanwhile! I will bake your mother's zucchini chocolate bread tomorrow.
Sounds super!
Thanks so much for this amazing pages for Elizabeth's theme! Enjoy your summer and lazy days!
Liyongo is well!
Hugs, Susi
