Week of July 9th

Sunday: My mom asked if I wanted to go to an art in the garden fair. There was also a "garbage" art exhibit going on.
I found a polar bear

 a sword fish:

 a star:

 a shark:

 The inside of the shark's mouth:

a trigger fish

 and jelly fish:

 I thought this elephant bank was really cute:

 I also found a frog in the lake:

 and a puddle that looked fun to play in

 and some succulent turtles:

 more turtles:

 and some weird hostas:

 and some baby Naked fruit juice:

 I bought these three bracelets for $27

 and this cute bunny made from a cashmere sweater for $13

 We stopped by Walmart on the way home and they had their school supplies out.

I really only stopped in for the tape, but I saw the school supplies, the set of 15 (?) gel pens was $5, and the shaker minion ribbon was $1.

I had to work as well, so stopped off at the library book sale again on my break.

Monday: I made a birthday card for a coworker:

I also got some swaps in the mail,

A $5 mystery swap: 

 A loaded destash envelope:

 A birthday card:

 I was pretty stressed at the end of the night because of work and swaps and just life.
Tuesday: I really enjoyed my day off. I returned a bunch of stuff to the library, I went shopping:

 pistachio bark, Mountain Dew, cookies, chai, playing cards, bunny.
I was disappointed in the pistachio bark, it barely has any chunks of pistachios, can't really tell they are pistachios, that was $4. The Mountain Dews were 2 for $3. The cookies were $2, the chai was $2, I'm planning on drinking it tomorrow. The cards are Iowa playing cards, they were on clearance for $4, I was hoping each card was different, but they're all the same, a bit disappointing. The bunny was $1.

I did some artwork, and finished three swaps, a my choice swap:

 a pink, and black envelope flip book:

 and a scavenger hunt pocket letter:

 I also got a journaling card swap in the mail:

 She sent me an extra pack of Graphic 45 journaling cards:

Wednesday: I went to work, the post office and grocery shopping. I mailed off all those art projects I finished on Tuesday. And basically relaxed the rest of the day.

Thursday: I meant to get up and work on some swaps, but I sat down in front of the computer and didn't do much art. Worked that night.

Friday: I went shopping with a friend, that's gonna be a separate post, it'll be long. I had some great mail waiting for me when I got home.

A sticker swap:

A summer pocket letter:

 A mini loaded envelope:

 And a flip book:

Saturday: I was so tired from Friday, I didn't go to any garage sales (after spending $40 on Friday, I didn't need to spend more money anyway), and went to work.
