having FUN...

Yes, time is flying. I can't believe June is almost over. We have been having loads of FUN! Lots of family here...playing with cousins, meeting up with friends, getting creative, planning for Spark & just enjoying the pRocess!


So, I have to admit....I have a bad habit of keeping up my Spring/Easter decorations until summer. haha. Does anyone else fall into that trap? It's just so fun, festive, fresh...school ends & BAM! It's the 4th of July! Well, this year I did NOT want June to end with my Easter decorations still up...so, I made some of the NEW House of 3 printable banners...easy! Print, cut, hang!
And added some other goodies here & there.

I just put a bunch of peppermint striped candies in jars for a festive feel. And then, last night the girls & I went over to my FAVE creative escape: Dear Lizzie Boutique & Bistro. Margie was teaching a class & we got to do a little shopping & treated ourselves to some of these fabulous chocolates!

We ran into some of my fave gals....love you guys! Thanks girls...it was so good to hang out! 

I used some of the FREEBIE Celebrate banners I had on the DIY Mother's Day Flowers craft show & mixed them with the other fun stuff at House of 3. Printables...how I love you!

The NEW *Four* Printable Banners are so great. They come in 2 sheets...one with the fun designs on them & then the other with just the cool patterns so you can personalize & add whatever you want! I sewed mine together & added other little goodies!  Just because they are here for the 4th of July, doesn't mean you can't use them other times. They don't say 4th of July....but do have a very stars & stripes, crest, medallion, funky vibe...so, ANYONE can use these ANYTIME!

And how cute are these little mini flags I have all over? I just cut them out of the *Four* Printable Kit & put it on a little skewer stick...I have them all over the house. Love it!

and...a funny story. Yesterday we were doing our morning *power jobs* & I was sooo irritated with all of the toilet paper rolls that were in the garbage can...
because. 
as you know. 
this means we are going through a LOT of t.p. oy!

So, as I was giving my kids a little *you-only-need-3-squares-of-toilet-paper* lecture, I grabbed them all & had a whole hand full. 

chuck them? I think not! 
I remembered this brilliant image in my mind & decided to use these to make a cool little *Fourth *of *July *STARS* toilet* paper *roll*wall *art! LOL!
yea. I think I might be crazy...is it this summer heat?
oh well. I had fun!
Hope you are having a faaaaabulous summer & happy weekend!
