Inspired by brilliance! Fourth of July {Not my party}

Her Royal Heinous, Queen Bee put on this amazing Memorial Day party full of inspiration for the Fourth of July!  What I love about it is the inexpensive details that make it look like a million bucks, like the yellow daisies in the Coke cans, the simple backdrop with American flags, and the apple garland.  ALM also has a fabulous post for a budget friendly Fourth with great ideas, like lollypop cupcake toppers.















Happy Fourth of July everyone!

Best,
Krysten

Fourth of July Wreath {Tutorial}

For those of you itching for something cute and fun for the fourth, here is an adorable and unique wreath.


A detailed "how to" is available on Busy Lizzy's blog.  I'm wondering if you could do something similar with crepe paper? This is gorgeous and would last for years!

Our printables for the 4th are still only $10!  Check them out!

Ready for the 4th?



Every year, we go up to my Aunt Marion's for the 4th of July north of Portland, Maine, and this year is no exception! I always look forward to seeing my family and relaxing near the lake - especially since the kids have gotten older and don't need *as much* intervention as they once did. We cook. We eat. We ride on the boat and watch the fireworks. It is a splendid way to spend a vacation!

Here's some pix from last year!

On our way up!

The lake!

All of us!

Here's some of the printables we're using for my uncle's birthday this year - red, white and blue for the holiday, and Maine/Florida because of his split residency!


Themes soon to be available in our store.

And don't forget to check out our Fourth of July printables on sale for a limited time for only $10.00! That's 50% off!

Capture the Flag











We had a birthday party with team games for our two big guys! My sister and mom helped me string up the balloons and lanterns with fishing line. It came out great!


We asked on the invitation for everyone to bring their favorite squirt gun, had plenty of water balloons on hand, and lots and lots of food!














Red and blue Mountain Dew for the theme, lemonade and plenty of water to drink.










We provided a beading station for the girls or kids who just needed a break from the excitement, and customizable dog tags from Oriental Trading Company (these were a huge hit!).





I found the red and blue "army men" at the Dollar Tree and also the big army guys we used to hold the food tags.



Along with capture the flag, we had a sack-race relay, a hula-hoop relay, and short team-style version of frisbee golf. For more ideas for team-games in the backyard, check out this article from Suite-101.







I had a bit of a debacle with the cake, so I made a giant cupcake wrapper out of construction paper for a quick fix. This worked great, except that the frosting bled through in places. The kids didn't seem to mind though!








Happy birthday, big guys!
