One of my favorite things to do during the summer is just hangin out with our neighbors in-between our sons baseball games. We have a very close knit great neighborhood :) We all take turns hosting bonfires where we roast marshmallows and everyone brings food and drinks. We have a huge 4th of July BBQ in our cul-de-sac and we have lots of games for the kids, food and lots of fireworks. Our neighborhood is just so fun!!

Love the long days of summer - sunshine, flowers and lots of opportunities to go junque-seeking.
Can hardly wait for the April She Art workshop, and now I'll need to sign up for the journaling workshop, too! Love your style. Thank you so much for sharing!

Awesome! I love summer because I live near the beach and get to enjoy swimming, snorkeling, playing in the sand, and kayaking.

I love summer because the days are warmer, longer, and the air just feels happier.

I love summer for the long lazy days... staying up really late and sleeping in!

summer is the promise of sunshine, a bit of heat after a long hard cold snowy winter. summer is full of potential, growing and then turning to harvest... summer is a long way off here in the middle of the prairies, but oh how i long to be warmer!

I love summer because I can watch my kids running through the sprinklers and enjoy the fruits (and veggies) of our spring labors!

I love summer because for me it means 4 day work weeks, and that means more BEACH time for me. I love summer on the Gulf Coast.

What a great giveaway. Love Pink Paislee! I use to not love summer because I grew up on a farm where we spent our summer vacations working on said farm. I dreaded every moment. However as an adult, I love summer for many reasons. The awesome sandal and dress wearing weather. My birthday happens in the summer. And all the fun vacationing that happens now.

I love summer because I get to hang out on the screened porch, ride horses, go fishing with my boys and lay in the sun and read. Sounds pretty good right now instead of the rain and snow headed our way! Love this new collection!

I LOVE Pink Paislee!! I also love summer because of the long days and warm sunshine. I am also lucky to live in a fruit growing area, and the fruit is sooo delicious.

I saw this line at Archivers last week and went nuts!! I love summer because I can stay up late with my kids with the windows open and watch scary movies and hear the frogs and crickets. Also long night walks!!:)

Thanks for the fab giveaway!

Why I love summer.... lazy days of summer:) I love going up to the mountains, taking the kids camping, swimming.... just all the things we do as a family and seeing the kids so full of joy. We seem to do more family things together in the summer (sad but true) because we get out of town more often and its "us".
