Are you ready for Summer?

Well I am but I'm dying down here in the Louisiana heat but before I go any further...

I NEED TO THANK ALL OF YOU WHO LEFT ME SWEET COMMENTS ON MY LAST POST!!! YOU MADE ME FEEL SO SPECIAL!!!! MY BREAK WAS FANTASTIC!!!

I am rejuvenated...thanks to all of you!

But most of all, I missed all of you and thought about you daily! I was able to get a few things done and I was even able to be a little creative!

So, back to the question in my title...

Are you ready for Summer?

If you tell me yes...this bracelet could be yours.

Summer is coming (feels like it's already here)

and I'm dreaming of the beach...

Sparkling blue water...

And sea shells plenty.

Is this dream for real? Yes, it is. My dream is for real!

Just leave me a comment on THIS post for a chance to win my handmade SUMMER BRACELET, loaded with tiny sea shells, blue, green, brown and clear crystals, pearls and abalone shell.

When is the first day of Summer? You guessed it...June 21st.

So on Sunday evening, June 21st, I will draw one winner, slip this bracelet in the mail and pass my Summer Dream on to you!

Whew it's hot...can you feel the heat???

    I am SO ready for summer, O love summer it is my (second) fave season of the year. Love the chirping of the birds, the bumble bees (yes, I like them, lol)the flowers that are in full bloom etc. LOVE the sun and the high temperatures, I thrive on the heat, real heat. I am always cold so the summer heat does wonders for me, I feel as if I can move mountains in the high temps lol.

    Adore, absolutely adore the bracelet ♥♥

    Hugs from Marian

    Enjoy your Summer!

    Oh Jodie I am so ready for summer if this is what it brings! That is lovely. We will be doing the Burlington Antique show on Sunday, 1st day of summer and Father's Day as well! I am taking a tip from you and going on a blog sabbatical for a few weeks. Too much time consumed. I will be checking back on Sunday evening though, just on the slim chance that that could be my bracelet! I wish everyone luck. But mostly me, teehee. Glad you're back, hugs, Pam

    I am so glad you are back Jodie! It is good to see your blog sparkling with life and color again!

    I am so ready for summer ~ I've been taking my swimsuit and stretching it out getting ready to pop inside of it for the pool this weekend! And I'm ready for vacation too!

    Your bracelet is breathtaking and I am sure whoever wins will treasure it! Blessings, Katie

    Were you gone...I didn't notice! (And with that statement her nose grew 12".) I have missed you girlie girl!!! I hope you got everything done you set out to do.
    Now am I ready for summer...are you freaking kidding me? It's already 98 degrees and rising here in Big D! BUT, if I win that bracelet I will look really cute wearing it with all my good humor man white and the shells are bound to make me feel cooler, right? Or at least I will look cool. It is gorgeous and obviously your time off was well spent!
    Glad you are back!!!

    Welcome back! :-)

    YES, I'm ready for summer - even though it wasn't officially summer, we've been enjoying our pool since the end of May - the weekend before Memorial Day to be exact - and it's felt like summer. But now, it's REALLY hot and humid this weekend so you can guess where I'll be... :-)

    Welcome back Jodie! :-) Glad to hear you feel refreshed :-)

    Oooohhhhh summer here has already gone :-( The rainy season has started. We only have to seasons here :-) Good for you guys there that you're still looking forward for summer. :-)

    Now I have to agree I'm missing the beach, not cause it's not summer anymore but I'm no way near the beach, only trees :-). Unlike where we used to live where it's just a walking distance away . . . now we have to travel hours. - So see your bracelet may remind someone else on something to look forward to, while for me it is something to reminisce by :-) The swirl effect the beads make is cool.

    Oh girl, you have no idea...YES. It's rained almost every day of June, here in Pa. No real sun, although the flowers and lawn like it- cool and just enough sun to do well. That's the only good thing. Count me in for the amazing bracelet!
