4th of July

Happy 234th Birthday America! Our nations flag flying proud and true in our yard.

The gazebo in our backyard all decked out for our 4th of July Party. It was a beautiful day for a BBQ; a little on the hot side but at least it wasn't raining.

The orgami stars I created based off of Martha Stewarts red, white and blue garland. I used the same technique to make the stars, but I did different sizes and used fishing line to tie them to the roof of the gazebo for a whimsical feeling.

One of my junk finds were these old shutters. We haven't decide what we are going to do with them yet, but for the party they made a great backdrop for my July 4th banner.

I used red and white polka dot stationary cards for the letters, blue construction paper for the stars and red ribbon to hang them on. I thought this was a fun way to celebrate and who doesn't love polka dots.
