Summer time is HERE!

Is everyone ready for the summer yet? My daughter Melanie is already on vacation, and I'm winding down with final exams for my students. What about you? What are you doing to prepare for the summer months?


WELL, in keeping with the hot weather, this week's elements challenge should, appropriately, focus on SUMMER as a theme...

And as always, we have a summery blend of GORGEOUS examples from the Dollies!
