The Actual 4th of July

Cash, Luc, and I made these shirts for them to wear. We cut stars out of freezer paper. Cash used a spray bottle with red paint with a little water. Luc used a paint brush and went to it. :) They were both very proud.

The rockets I spoke of yesterday.

Some easy decor out by the pool...

A star platter I made out of a glass star (was clear), and candlestick (was clear) from the Dollar Tree. A little primer and spray paint go a long way, baby!

Hope everyone enjoyed the day!!

Pinwheel, Pinwheel, Spinning Around...

Does anyone else remember that song from Nickelodeon YEARS ago?
"Pinwheel, pinwheel...spinning around...look at my pinwheel and see what I found..."
Am I the only one?

Ok, so we are having our friends, the Nichols, over for an Independence Day get together tomorrow. Even though it's just my family and their family, I had to make some decorations.
You know me...always looking for an excuse to whip up theme party decor!


First of all, I adore pinwheels for ANYTHING in life, but I have seen these all over bloggie world for the 4th. I jumped on that bandwagon, SOMETHING QUICK! Never hurts to be a follower every now and again, right?


Anyhoo, can't wait to see these on the picnic table tomorrow. I also made some rockets, but didn't have time to take any pics. Will show them in tomorrow's post along with my yummy dessert!

Happy Independence Day everyone!
Be joyful and safe-
Tracy

Red, White, & Blue - Berries...YUM!!

Yummy ANNNNNND patriotic. Awesome!

Seriously, just LOOK at these things....God Bless America!

Of course, the most fabulous part of this whole "Red, White, and Blue...I love you, " thing is that (well yes!) it's super easy. (That's starting to become my motto.)

*Purchase the white chocolate of your choice. I went with a bag of
Ghirardelli.
*Purchase strawberries
*Purchase sprinkles
*Melt chocolate according to package's directions
* Dip clean strawberries into chocolate, leaving a little red of the berry left at the top.
* Before you lay the covered berry onto wax or freezer paper, sprinkle the bottom with blue sprinkles.
* Let dry

By the end of it, I just poured the sprinkles into a ramekin and dipped the covered berry into it.

There you have it.
Summer.
Patriotism.
Chocolate.
What more could you ask for?
