Can you believe it’s the last day of July?! Absolutely crazy. I’d love to hear what your Top Ten Things about this month were! I’ll be sure to post mine tomorrow. Share via comment, Facebook, e-mail, etc.
 
Today is Uncommon Instruments Awareness Day. You may recall me celebrating last year by making paper plate shakers. It’s so important to celebrate little holidays!
Anyway, here’s my last weekly happiness of July. I hope you have a great last day of the month. Make it special!
