God Bless The USA

Happy Birthday America!

Summer Craft Night

While my daughter was in town we had a girls craft night with my daughter-in-law and a good friend of theirs. It was so fun to share life stories, creativity, laughs, and a bit of chocolate.

We made these cute butterfly mason jars that I first saw here.

 The sweet snow cone garland idea was found here and will be such a fun decoration through the summer months. 

Then each of us made a patriotic canvas using lots of red, white and blue paint and glitter.

 It was an enjoyable evening and I can't wait until we can do it again!
