Summer Officially Over???

Saturday, the 22nd welcomed Autumn. Summer is over here in Pittsburgh, or so it seems by the weather we have been experiencing.  Anyway, I have been wrapping up my Project Summer 2012 journal, adding photos and a few finishing touches.  Thought maybe I would revisit my Summer Manifesto ONE last time and see how I did.
