quick easy cute fun: projects for paper crafters
Forty two. Around here, that’s not The Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything. That’s the record number of consecutive days of triple-digit temperatures, set in 1980. Some doubted that record would ever be reached again. But in July, the talk began. Was 2011 the year?

There’s something about this little note card that I just love. Maybe it’s the way the flower contrasts with the pink background. Or how the blossom is popped up.
