Although I consider summer to be one continuous holiday, there is nothing like the 4th of July, to really give cause for a celebration. I just love everything about throwing a party, the planning, the decorations, the menu for special food and treats, and of course, time spent with family and friends.To get myself in the mood, I usually like to do a few holiday themed crafts. With the patriotic theme, there are so many ideas and projects that I want to do, it's always hard to pick just one. I have dreams of decorating my entire home and yard with red, white and blue decor for the entire summer. July 4th sneaks upon me so fast, as my gardens take up most of my time, so I have to be content with one or two new items a season. This year, I plan on continuing to work on patriotic projects that can stay out past the actual holiday-themed decorations.
This simple, little pin was the beginning of my creative endeavors this year. I wore it for my Independence Day party and felt quite festive for such a small, easy to make accessory and I can wear it whenever I feel the patriotic spirit.
