a sip of summer

a sip of summer {and a ten on ten reminder}

It's the final days of summer friends, time to soak in the last few lazy moments before the kids head back to school. Time to use the grill for dinner, camp in the backyard, make a big messy outdoor project and eat popsicles until your hearts content.

I am taking a few days this week to soak in these moments with family but not to fear a few of my sweet friends will be here keeping you company and sharing a little sip of summer with you to help you drink in the last of summer's goodness. They will be sharing their very favorite summer sipper recipes to keep you guys cool while your soaking it all in.

And of course I had to leave you with a tiny little summer sipper project inspired by the mason jar sippies I made for Simon's birthday. This time though I used a hole punch (thanks to Cailan for the brilliant spin) to create the straw hole and then I cut a piece of oil cloth using the lid as a template and made a matching hole with the hole punch in the cloth too. I used some fabric glue to attach the oil cloth right onto the jar lid and simply spray painted the ring to match. I had been wanting to make a bigger version of this jar for myself for some time now and after reading Cailan's post and realizing that I didn't even need the drill I ignored the laundry a little longer and whipped this one together.

I am loving how it turned out and have been enjoying my favorite summer sipper, an iced soy Irish cream latte in it ever since!

I hope you all have a wonderful week I will be here on wednesday for this months installment of Ten on Ten and I am hoping you will join me...and don't forget to come by this week and check out some fun guest posts I am super excited to share them with you!

So what's your favorite summer drink? - I would love any ideas and recipes you want to share in the comment section!
