Faux Beach Party for One

Sand, Shoes & Hat on the Faux Beach - JFleming 2013
A few weeks ago I went to Orange Beach - it was a great trip. I haven't laughed like that in ages, nor have I enjoyed a vacation quite as much as I did that one. Anyway, on the last day of the trip, I got some plastic containers so I could take home some of the sand with me.

I know this is a little strange, but I wanted the sand so I could put my feet in it when I was wanting to go back to the beach. If I worked in a different environment, I'd probably take the sand containers with me to work and put my feet in them while I'm there, but as it is, I've been putting my feet in the containers while I'm at home. Originally, I thought I'd make a sand box for that purpose, but having the sand be in containers that I can actually lift is nice too. It's been great to immerse myself in that faux beach by putting my feet in the sand. Those dollar store containers are just big enough for a foot to wriggle around in. I've been thinking that all I need now is a fan and one of those sounds of the ocean CDs.


These are some of the shells I picked up while in Orange Beach.
I put them into one of my grandmother's old blue Ball jars.

Freelance Design: Selena Sews

Proofs with the two I liked most at the top... This is the one she chose - definitely my favorite - although she chose the one with the sewing machine for a larger sign she was going to do cut vinyl for. I'm looking forward to seeing these in action. A talented friend asked me to help her with some designs for craft bag tags. If you're interested in seeing some of her side-hustle goods, check out her facebook page .

Help me decide on the omnibus cover - this one or the following one? And would one of those work better for volume 4?     Omnibus cover option 1   Omnibus Cover option 2 These are the volume covers:     Book 1 Cover Redesign     Book 2 Cover     Book 3 Cover     Book 4 Cover - Should I nix this surprised expression for something a bit more subtle? Which ever image doesn't end up on the omnibus?
