Well, we have a houseful of people, kids, and dogs (Twinkle is still being "trained" by Luke), so I am not able to do any craft or art work. But I did manage to put together a few more Cottage Collage Kits (or scrap packs) to sell on Etsy. 
Here you can see Twinks getting a lesson in going down the blow up slide in the wading pool. Luckily, she seems to be enjoying all of the so called "dog training". Her feet haven’t touched the ground since the kids arrived.
This visit has been so busy, that we all forgot that we were supposed to have an ice cream buffet last night!! There is a lot going on, when kids forget ice cream!
Once the kids were tucked in, and the guys were settled into a card game, I went to the studio to play with paper (my cleaned up studio!)
I made up bundles with over 30 items in them, including sheet music, vintage wallpaper, copies of my art, pages from old books, a page from a steno manual, a millinery flower, some posies, old buttons, vintage gift wrap, and on and on. 
Its so fun to pick through my stash and try to find goodies I think someone might enjoy using.
This tone on tone wallpaper is actually silk.
Anyway, I listed 6 of these on Etsy last night for $14 each. I got to thinking, that maybe a similar one would also be a good giveaway for July. So, if you are interested in a variety mix of a Cottage Collage Kit, leave me a comment and I will enter you in the drawing at the end of the month.
Here is one of the old wallpapers, pretty, huh?
These are from packs I made last week with a blue theme, that have already sold out.
I’ll be sifting through my goodie cabinets and finding some pretties to add to the giveaway, when I get a nice packet together, I’ll show a photo.
Now, I’d better go and see how Twinkle’s training is going!

Oh that giveaway looks gorgeous! What great items… I love the vintage wallpaper but here in Holland it’s very very hard to find and if you do find something it probably from the 70’s… orange and brown. Yuk not my colors! These look so lovely!
Jeepers Karla, I can’t believe you’re still finding the time and energy to blog as much as you are right now! I think you’re pretty amazing to accomplish all that you do.
I think your paper paks look great!
Congratulations on your new family member. It’s lovely to have babies in the family.
Where’s our Sugarwings picture today? :>(
Sweet fairy FANTASTIC…! as always! wowsers…could roll around in all that glorious stuff until i could decide what i could all do! it would be hard as already the ideas are flowing and flowing….!!!! BIG HUGZ! (for sugarwings and rosebud too!!!)

Sign me up! Love how you corral all your goodies in your office. And, covering the shelves with old pages – great idea! I may use that on on some shelves in the kitchen – pages from an old cookbook!
