Summer Lovin' Link Party!!

Hello Gallamore West and Shaped by Grace readers!!
It's me, Reannah, from Shaped by Grace throwing a party with my good friend Laurie from Gallamore West for
my favorite time of year!!

SUMMER!

Why is it my favorite time of year? Maybe it's because I'm a teacher and I get some time off of work for summer. Maybe it's because I know that it means I get to spend lots of quality time with my kids. Maybe it's because I can bring out the sun dresses, flip flops and beach gear! But whatever reason --

I LOVE SUMMER!!

So, when I wanted to throw a summer link party, I made sure to ask someone who loves summer as much as I do: my bloggy bestie {and real life friend} Laurie from Gallamore West!! We both love the sun and the fun that comes with summer! {It totally has NOTHING to do with the fact that BOTH our birthdays are in the summer either!} hee hee! 

So let's get right to the fun -- this link up is a PAR-TAY of all things summer!! Crafts, recipes, kids activities, what I wore, summer reads and ANY SUMMER POST YOU HAVE POSTED EVER! That's right -- since this is my first link party - I know you haven't linked up your project before, so it's new to me! And your project may be new to someone else so - link it up ladies!! Any post from the past, the present or the future - because we will be partying all summer long!!! 

Need some inspiration? Here are a few Summer Lovin' ideas from my friend Laurie and I!

From Gallamore West: 

How about a cute and crafty Summer Countdown?

Or a cheery sign to greet your summer day:

From Shaped by Grace:

 Looking for a cool recipe to make? How about this 4th of July star cake?

Or, finally, a fun activity to kick off summer: take your kids Ding Dong Ditching!! 

Feeling ready for summer yet? Yay!! So are we!! I can't wait to see all the creativity that you link up!
