Happy 4th!!


Oh good! You are finally here! Today I am living in a dream world and in this dream, I wanted to show you what my July 4th party would look like if I had endless resources, time, a babysitter, etc! A girl can dream right?? LOL SO grab a piece of this yummy pie above and follow me outside to the party area:)


Here is your seat; sit down and relax! I know many of you have traveled long and far!

Which one of these silverware settings would you choose?
I love the blue gingham one:)


Man, my green thumb is been working out this summer getting my lovely hydrangea's ready! Oh, and I slaved over this gorgeous banner for hours!
Don't you love it?


Aren't these cupcakes yummy?
They are fat free and have NO CARBS- so I can eat as many as I want!!


Let's go over to my gazebo and chat a bit about how you are!
(Gahhhh, I really want a gazebo in my REAL yard!!)


Now, most of these Sangria's are for BRENDA and I but we'll share with you too!!


My sweet friend
HOLLY worked so hard on this adorable garland for me! (hehehe) Isn't she talented?


Krafty Katie made these windsocks to decorate my garden walk area too!


Aren't these the cutest candleholders?


I love these little pinwheels too!!

Hope you all had fun at my 4th of July blog party! I sure did:)

What are your plans for the 4th?

Tomorrow lil Gage and I are gonna stay home and cook out for my parents, brother and maybe a couple friends! Brian and Gavin are going up to my future in laws cottage to swim and jet ski. I HATE the lake water and Gage doesn't know what to do with himself out there; so I thought we'd stay home and chill at bit:) It will be kinda sad to not spend the holiday as a family but it will be much more enjoyable for everyone; the big boys can play at the lake and we can hang around at home. I am picking up some fireworks for my dad to light for us, cause I am a scaredy cat! LOL I'll take some pics and post them next week!

I'll be back for Scrapbook Sunday!

Have fun and be safe!!!

Wow! you throw a beautiful 4th of july party! I like the red with white stars silverware setting...and the cupcakes look so good...our plans changed late last night ugh!!! my brother and his family won't be coming so it's just me, hubby and mom...We shopped all day today so I'm tired anyway but hubby always gets fire works and I always cook so it will be fun just more laid back and comfortable...Happy 4th to you and your family!!

Hi Sweetie Pie! Happy Fourth to you too! I think it's hilarious that you put me doing the windsock because last year I was all set to make them but then ran out of time. I did however, make the star garland Holly made you. I used patterned paper and it's on my mantle right now. You can see it in my post back around Memorial Day when I posted all my patriotic crafts. I got several from Martha and darn it if I wasn't planning on doing one of the projects you showed but plum forgot until I saw it on your post.

Oh and you better believe I'm comin' over to your swanky party. Does that mean the magic fairy babysitter will be there to watch ER☺

Vickie said...

That would be a great party!! Ah...dreams:)

We are just staying home and chilling. We will grill some hamburgers and watch our neighbors do the fireworks.

Enjoy your 4th of July with Gavin!!

Awesome party! I just have this feeling your gonna be doing so major re-decorating one day, I feel it in my bones!! I so adore seeing your enthusiasm for decorating and vintage! Now if you o for pink one day I WILL PASS OUT COMPLETELY! mom

Great Party, Noelle! I was so tickled that you included a picture of my garland! Ha-ha!

Yeah, I'll pick the Blue Gingham silverwear setting, too and send one of those gazebos over here!

Well I'm glad you decorated cuz I didn't do any decorting for the 4th. :( That stupid cold set me back.

We're going to the next town over to see a fire work show tonight and I'm so excited!!!

I'm a scardey cat too and will only light sparklers!

Have fun! ♥
