Hi friends!
Fall is almost here, like 2 weeks away (insert clapping hands)!!! Pumpkin spice & everything nice! “Nice” meaning: fall weather, fall colors, falling leaves, sweaters, boots… I CAN’T WAIT! We even had a perfect “fall” day this Saturday, including a cool breeze and fall activities with family. But before I get ahead of the season and whisk my own self away, we have ANOTHER ocean/water themed craft for you! We/I had totally forgotten about this one. We made these way back when we started, like 6 months ago, before it was even summer(check out our GREEN grass and lack of garden in the background). We were playing around with the cupcake liners for a summer theme, as we’d just completed our butterfly one and didn’t know when we’d get to use it. We tucked it away in a file(aka mom brain) and then got busy with all the other crafts. So, here we are, sharing our 5th ocean/water themed craft and officially removing it from mama’s brain! Check it out below.

That’s it!
Naomi added 2 pool floats, 1 triangle umbrella, colored beach towel, 1 lifeguard chair, 1 rounded umbrella, and a round beach blanket .
I kept it simple and had 1 pool float, 1 triangle umbrella, 1 beach chair, and 1 matching beach towel.
Happy crafting!
