So, I've had a very full spring and summer-it's been very exciting! However, as fun as it has been, I'm afraid  my stamping has suffered. I haven't stamped ALL summer! So, instead of showing my card art, I'll share a bit of the other art I've created over the last 5 months.

In April, my husband and I bought our very first trailer! We were very excited! However, most people would not have been so when seeing our purchase. We bought a 1965 Glendale Glendette. It's about 15 feet long, and it was in very rough shape- the roof vent had been leaking for so long... the owner had put up beer signs as his ceiling!



So, all of our spare time through May & June was spent tearing out & replacing the vent, the ceiling and cross beams, as well as painting the panelling. We bought foam & fabric, and I made new seat cushions, and a mattress for the upper bunk. I sewed curtains and pillows. We decided to forgo having a couch/bed on the bottom, and bought a regular mattress. It now stays a bed full time. We installed a backsplash and a new fridge, as the old one didn't work.
It's been quite a process, but we're so thrilled with how it's turned out! 
We took it on a small weekend trip just outside of town for the July 4th weekend, and we've just returned from a 6 day trip to Georgian Bay.
Here are a few pictures of the final result.




Next spring, we tackle the outside!

Thanks for checking me out!
