It’s summer time! This is my favorite part of the year.  I’m crafting some too cute decor that’s bright and fun and fits the summer vibe. I'm making some affordable monogrammed striped beach towels that pair perfectly with a monogrammed lunch bag tote. I am also using dollar store materials to create a trendy smore's box that I have been seeing at stores. I really love the look of these! Get into the details below!
