Patriotic Porch

Hooray for the Red, White and Blue. I made a banner for my front porch out of plastic tablecloths.

 

 

 

I had some little stars and stripes buckets too that I found  at a yard sale that I have been waiting to use.

 

 

 We're hearing fire crackers already, people are getting ready to celebrate.

Christmas Tree for 2012

Each year I change up the main color on our Christmas Tree in the living room. Last year when they had the 80-90% sales after Christmas I purchased a roll of red velvet trim. I would never pay full price for it. It looks so rich on the green tree.

 

I found a new (old) red star tree topper at a rummage sale and love the way it shines.  Used lots of red sparkles on the top.

 

 

A few new red ornaments this year.

Love these new red birds with red and green plaid ribbons.

 

 

Enjoying all the pretty reds this morning and the glow of the lights.

QUICK QUIRKY FACTS

Today I'm celebrating a milestone birthday. Sixty-Five, it's really unbelievable, I don't feel that age. A few years ago I acuquired this card that lists lots of QUICK QUIRKY FACTS about 1947.

Hope you enjoy reading these as much as I do.

Cupcake Christmas Wreath

I'm having so much fun making these wreaths for the craft fair I'm joining in October.  I found deco mesh at Sam's Wholesale Club at $7.99 per roll.  I bought a Christmas plaid, plain red and plain gold.

I found these adorabe cupcake ornaments at Hobby Lobby yesterday and really thought they were cute, all Christmas is now 40% off.  Here's what I came up with.

Red Wednesday

I'd like to share a frame I painted and emblished with muslin and gunny sack flowers that I also made. I will be selling this in a fall craft fair.

Hoping you all are enjoying your midweek.  Do you have plans for Labor Day?  We're going to a 500 booth antique show.
