Now I love a good summer bucket list as much as the next person but I live in a small western town with not much to do. I know a lot of people don’t have the opportunity to live in a fun beach town where they can go tubing, go to festivals and all of those super fun activities. There are also a lot of people that cannot afford to do a lot of bigger summer activities which is why I created a list with some fun things to fill up your summer days that are relatively affordable and can be done from anywhere. There is a broad range of activities so I hope you can find somethings to add to your summer bucket list so you can have the best time!!

That’s all I have for you guys today! I hope this inspired you to get out there and create wonderful memories! Summer is the time to try new exciting things! Even living in a small town can be super fun if you make it the best it can be! With that being said I hope you all have and amazing summer! Good bye 🙂
This DIY is super fun and easy! All you need is some air dry clay, paint, and some kind of sealant. I’ve been seeing a lot of tik toks where they make fruit dishes, flowers, and a bunch of different shapes. This is a project where you can really let your creativity flow!
2. Tie Dye Projects
Tie Dyeing is the epitome of summer activities! Now buying a whole tie dye kit can be expensive and wasteful if you’re not going to use it. I suggest getting 2 smaller packs of tie dye. Get together with some friends and create a beautiful design on a t-shirt, socks, hats, anything that you can bring more color to. It’s a fun, relatively quick summer activity that anyone can enjoy!
3. Beaded Anklets/Bracelets
This is a great way to get into the summer spirit! Making bracelets or anklets is super fun and easy. There are so many kits to choose from ranging in color and size of beads! You can get a group of friends together and each make a bunch of bracelets to rock all summer long! Perfect for all ages as well as curing that summer boredom. Click on the image to find these bracelets.
That’s all I have for you guys today! I hope you have an amazing summer filled with fun and amazing activities! Get out and make some memories!
So you want to get into scrapbooking. There are so many ideas for what life events you could scrapbook or if you want a creative outlet to showcase what you love. I personally have a what I call a lifestyle scrapbook which means I like to add pictures and decorate pages based on what is going on in my life for example sports, travel trips, people in my life that sorta thing. However I know there are also a lot of people that use scrapbooking as a way to showcase their favorite shows, actors, or just be creative with a color schemes. Either way sometimes we run out of ideas for what exactly we want to scrapbook or ideas for simply starting.
Scrapbooking is often seen as a lost art. Similarly to knitting and sewing it has fallen into being for older people however I say that’s just not true. Growing up in a digital world we have lost some key aspects that I know we all still love. For example growing up I loved to look through my mothers old photo albums. I got to see pictures of her as a kid with her friends and got to see some of her adventures. Not once has my mom ever called me over to look through old Shutterfly albums. Why? Because it’s not the same. Having physical pictures of experiences is so fun and looking back on those memories will last a lifetime. We forget certain parts of our childhood as we grow up, but we can always look back on them when we have a scrapbook. However scrapbooking is not just a collection of pictures. That is called a photo album. A scrapbook is transforming a page to show your experiences and how you felt with the addition of photos. Though I am unfamiliar with having a scrapbook to showcase favorites, there is the sentimental value of creating something that you love that represents yourself and how you feel about a certain topic. Having a scrapbook allows you to be super creative but sometimes we run out of ideas so here are some categories to look through that will hopefully inspire you to create a new page or a scrapbook in general.
