Hay it's the 4th!

We just got back from a long traveling trip, so the 4th actually crept up on me before I knew it. We really have no plans- other than a visit to our local block party in the park, and maybe a late night of "oohhhs" and "ahhhhhs" in the night sky. Typically we have a bunch of friends over with some great BBQ and fun.... and I found these great ideas this morning and was kinda wishing that others were visiting for a gathering so that I could play with my crafty side.

Next year, would you like to visit? You might find these ideas at the table....

so who is making reservations for the 4th of July 2010- our home is your home, and our BBQ is your BBQ. Happy 4th my friends... and see you next year!
