CreatingWithNicole.com Monthly Newsletter: August 2026
See the full August newsletter here
Happy August, Friend!
Welcome to August! Living inland in a coastal province means humidity.. But we survive. August is always full of celebrations for me including camping trips and birthdays. My best friend can be difficult to buy for so I love creating small but meaningful treats for him for his birthday. Check out the chocolate bar bouquet I made for his 40th birthday: Chocolate Bar Bouquet.
If you’re enjoying this newsletter, please forward to a friend who you think will also enjoy a quieter corner of the internet.

August is also a reminder that fall is just around the corner so I hope you find the time to take the season in before it disappears for another year. When I have a free day, I like to explore my own backyard and one time found myself at Hobart Beach which was just around the corner from The Flying Apron. Check out my review of this little local gem here: Review: The Flying Apron
