Another summer is underway and we’re just now realizing how hard it is to get out of bed at a decent time when the sun is still up at 9PM and there’s so many people to see and things to do. The hot, humid weather has moved in and hopefully all our major summer travel plans have been made so now it’s time to fill in the gaps with things like Twilight Tunes on Thursday’s on the square and any number of shows and get togethers that are happening. Remember to document your travels and adventures by using hashtag #WDDI.

Read MoreSummer's already here, y'all. You can tell because your car is that type of hot where you raise your butt off the seat so you don't melt into it. Also, if you've spawned, your wee ones are currently at home and probably going through your stuff or causing mischief. Don't worry, though. We've got plenty of family-friendly events throughout the week in today's Seen & Heard. A few of 'em involve cooling yourself off by way of air conditioning or water, too. So hop to it!

Read MoreSCRAP Denton is full of reuse pushers. After you've hung out in their new digs on Bell for a while, made a few crafty friends, and taken a couple of classes you kinda get hooked on creative reuse. It can be addictive. With their new location, SCRAP is bigger and better than ever before, and with their upcoming fundraisers, summer camps and more, things only look to be getting better. We recently spoke with lead SCRAPer (our term, not hers), Heather Gregory, to get the low-down on all of the upcoming events happening at SCRAP. Oh, and she gives us insight on who is the craftiest person in Denton, teases an upcoming Mini Maker Faire to be held in Denton this fall, and a whole bunch more because she's busy like that. Read all about it in the interview below.
