Can you believe it's time for Halloween crafts? Oh I know the stores are selling Christmas items too but I was just a wee bit surprised about the crafts - check out Martha Stewart's Halloween Workshop (already 20,000+ people have signed up!) and if you're a big fan there is also the Halloween Craft of the Day.
Right now I'm still enjoying the flowers in my garden and the wonderful warm weather. I'm wearing tank tops, flip flops and white shoes (not all at once) and I just don't feel like thinking about all things black and orange. There are times when we need to think ahead, and times when I think we should be in the present. To me, summer is one of those times where we should be in the present!
I'm going to fill up the kiddie pool and enjoy the beautiful clear blue skies, fragrant lilies and the warm sun on my skin while sipping on something with ice in it. And maybe do some knitting while I'm at it - socks for when it gets cold again!

Excellent links! Thanks. I'm thinking about Halloween already.
I agree with you. Staying in the present is sometimes not so easy. I know I'm thinking ahead for Christmas...only because it takes me so long to make things. I'm knitting a sweater right now and it's just too warm out to have it all piled in my lap, so I've set it aside and am starting something smaller, just until this heat wave is over.
BTW... I really like the new slideshow you've added to your blog. What a GREAT idea! I may just copycat you (you wouldn't mind, would you?). I have SO many photos.
golly! i love halloween & all but it seems that the retailers get earlier and earlier every year with that & christmas, like they skip over summer & go right for the back to school-halloween combo then it's christmas time.
i agree- enjoy the nice weather, flowers, being outside, and relaxing time of summer! the big holidays can wait until a more appropriate time....
Wow, these are definitely great links--and now I know that I'm not alone in having issues making Halloween themed crafts during the summer.
(I found your site through...somewhere, I've been blogsurfing all day, and I hope it's okay I commented!)
lizbeth -thank you for comment! Of course it's okay! I'll be sure to check out your site too! We crafters need to stick together!
And Jo-Ann - yes, the slide show is a really easy option in Blogger to add! I love the slide show option too!
