Beach House, Italy & Craft Show

This weekend, I went to my beach house in Michigan for Fourth of July. It was only my second time going there and it was a lot of fun. It's a little house right by the beach, so it's really nice. I went swimming at the beach which I haven't done in a while. We saw fireworks over the lake. None of my photos of fireworks came out because my digital camera ran out of power and I had to use a camera phone, but I got these photos:


I found this sign that says "Beach" that we keep in our house.










There's this painting in the bathroom of the house left by the previous owners. I think it's really pretty.

I've also been uploading more photos in my Italy album. I'll be gradually adding more. I've been working on a journal where I'm gluing in my Italy photos and writing captions. It's pretty much done (there's just a couple more photos I have to print out). I really like how it looks and it's been a great way to organize my photos offline. Here's a couple of my new uploads:


This is an exterior view of the Duomo in Florence. The size of the photo isn't that big because I had to scan this photo myself and for some reason it comes up small on the computer, but I like how it turned out. I climbed to the top of the Duomo on the last day in Florence. It was so much fun and the view from the top was beautiful (photos of that coming soon!)


This was the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena. The photo's kind of blurry because it was taken at night, but it was so beautiful and I loved just hanging out in Siena.

My Fourth of July greeting card was featured in this EtsyVeg treasury on their blog. I also got featured in this newsprint treasury (my card's on the bottom left):



I went shopping for items for my craft show today. It's my first time doing a craft show so I'm trying to find ways to organize my items in a 10 x 10 space. I got 3 baskets and I think I'm keeping journals and one and greeting cards in the two smaller ones. I'll also have some of my items on display outside of the baskets, such as some of my bigger journals and boxes. I have a bunch of Christmas, Halloween, etc. cards. Do you think it's okay sell off season/holiday cards? It's still kind of early for the holidays, but I figured I might try selling them on sale. I've already gotten a lot of advice in the forums, but let me know if you have any tips!
