Free Five Friday

Summer usually means vacations, and one place a lot of people go is the beach. So here are a few vintage illustrations of life on the beach back in the olden days. 'Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, on a blanket with my baby, is where I'll be' ...... That's the tune in my head! 🏖⛱🏄🌊 👙👣⚓🛥🏊🩱

After mailing off some birthday packages to my grandson in the middle of the holiday season, I began to think about shipping, and how many gifts are delivered by the post office instead of in person. Right now, there is a package held up in the local distribution center. While some packages sail on through, others run aground. So, today's post is all about shipping and handling. That thing we pay for so something gets where we want it to go on time, while knowing that once it leaves our hands, there are no guarantees for when it arrives. Not this time of year, anyway! 📬🕐🚚

Hello fellow crafters! I just ordered myself a long zoom lens for my camera, and it got me to thinking about what I would like to photograph with it, so today's freebies are a diverse collection of animals that I thought befitting for this time of year. Many of us would rather be at the beach than the forests or mountains, so even the little sea birds are appropriate, even though they have been extinct since 1911. 😔 Hope you enjoy these and are able to use them in your craft projects! 🐀🐾📷✂✏
