I'm Melting Like a Toasted Cheeser!

*1000 million cool points to anyone who can tell me what movie the title of this post is refering to*

Good golly! It's sooo hot outside I'm using hokey 1950's expressions!

108 degrees farenheit!

That was the temperature today - without the heat index. I had to leave the house to send off some orders and buy some elastic for headband making and good god! Whenever I opened the car door it was like walking into an oven. The weird thing was that there was a breeze but it felt like a breeze off the gate's of hell. I've lived in Southern California but it the town was 10 miles from the ocean so I had the pleasure of the cooling ocean breeze. I've also lived in the southern most part of Arizonia and the heat I experienced there doesn't even compare to today's scorcher. The weather forecast predicts that it is suppose to be even hotter tommorrow. Crazy I say!

I've been making little envelopes for the wallets and zippered pouches that I sell on etsy. I'm using regular 12x12 scrapbooking paper and it looks absolutely adorable if I do say so myself. Plus it is really inexpensive compared to buying those boring brown craft envelopes. I buy the paper from Hobby Lobby for 25 cents a sheet and just use regular clear packaging tape to seal it. Here's one example:



(I had to take a picture of the back due to home addresses displayed on the front)

Inside is this glorious wallet:



I just ordered some more Japanese kawaii fabric today that should be arriving by the middle of September. I plan on using it for the products I'll be selling at Rock the Stitch on October 6th!
