Hi ladies! I'm so glad you could join us for our first ever Stamptacular Blog Hop!Before visiting me you should have already been to Paula, Nikki, Line, Priscilla and Donna and seen their fabulous creations, read all about what they do during the summer and left them a comment on one of their blog entries! If not...please go back! You won't want to miss out on your chance to win the Grand Prize once you've made it through our Hop!
So.....what do I do in Summer....well, it is a very hot affair over here in Spain so at the very height of summer I spend most of my spare time relaxing with my family either next to or in our swimming pool and when it gets too hot I seek some shade inside, and I head for my craft room. We also like to chill out watching DVDs, going out for walks with our two dogs and going out with friends. Also, throughout the spring and summer, we usually have a lot of friends and family that visit us from the UK, in fact tomorrow my boyfriends parents are coming for 10 days so I will have to go and do some housework!!!
I have included on this post a picture of my boyfriend, Jeff and our two dogs, Charlie and Monkey, so you can see who I spend most of my time with! and also I have included a summery card that I have just made. The card is also for a challenge, but I will post about that later on today!
Now your next stop on our hop is Joey's Blog......
so Happy Hopping!!

Summer in Spain sounds a lot like summer in South Africa. I love the heat and hate the cold, so I am a little bit depressed at the moment, because winter has started over here.

ReplyDeletepretty card...love the colors....... and what some cute little doggies you have. I also spend my summers like you do.. in the pool or in the air conditioned house.. over 110 is NOT FUN!! :o)

Your dogs are so pretty, and so is your card
ReplyDeleteTFS
sounds like fun, I'm not keen on the sun all day and I like to retreat to the shade unfortunately, we like to go to wales or the lake district half of our summer swimming in lakes and taking long walks and visiting the local icecream shop that does over 45 flavours definetly the kids favourite part of the holiday.
