It's hard to believe that the summer is already winding down. Labor Day is right around the corner, which marks the seasonal shift to fall (in my book). In a last ditch effort to squeeze in some bits of summery fun, I've been making the most of these last few (hot!) weeks of summer. Whether I'm sitting poolside enjoying a cocktail, relaxing out on the open seas, fishing, or baking something sweet, these final summer days have been entirely relaxing and entirely satisfying... Here's a little peek into what I've been up to:
Apparently Chloe is ready for the fall... This is how I found her sleeping:
Enjoyed a zinc sunrise... 
Headed down to my parents... Clearly we were in for a hoppin' night:
Gone fishin'
9 hours of fishing and this is all I caught :-(
Baked salted chocolate chip cookies... Yum! (Similar recipe here.)
What have you been up to during these final weeks of summer?
Has anyone given any of my Crafty Creations a try? If so, don't forget to upload and submit your photos for a chance to be featured in a Member Spotlight post.

And enjoying these last sunny week (:
But I would kill for some time in LA.
In Amsterdam it rains a lot, so I'm really jealous of the people in hot countries.

this summer has been a bit uneventful for me because i had to have hip surgery and i have been recovering. luckily, my awesome friends have been coming over my house and keeping me company because i can not travel and go out. i have been doing a lot of crafts to keep myself occupied and i have been creating new designs for my etsy shop (: www.pulltabexpressions09.etsy.com all eco/recycled/upcycled handcrafted accessories

I have still (or only) two weeks until school will start again but for now I am having a One Tree Hill re-run marathon because this is the perfect serie to get in to the right school feeling again. Moreover, I enjoy the days with our two dogs and try to catch the last sunny days. Plus, I have to go shopping for the new school year and have to prepare for school.
But I am keeping everything as slowly as possible, the stress will start soon enough -.-
