July's Theme!

With it being so HOT and DRY here, my mind keeps wandering back to the water.......and since I had a requested theme that goes with the water, I thought we would revisit it!

By looking at the matchbox below can you guess what it is?

That's right! Although we did a mermaid last year, there are so many types of water maidens, I think any one of us could play with the theme and come up with something perfect and/or perfectly different!


July's theme is mermaid, siren, water sprite or water nymph.

July's challenge... Make dotee doll and incorporate the colors of the sea

July's activity...enjoy a water based activity.
If you are TOTALLY land locked with no local pool, try playing in the hose while washing your car, have a balloon fight, or run through the sprinklers with the kids.




"...surely woman rose from the frothy sea, as resplendent as Aphrodite on her scalloped chariot."

Ooooo! I'm so excited! I can't wait to try a dotee doll. This is the perfect theme for July! Are we swapping? If so I'm in!
Too bad I need to finish cleaning and organizing the house today I'd love to start creating right now!
