Summer Inspiration

                                                                                             
For a long time now I have considered decorating the outside of my house from Memorial Day through the start of school in a patriotic theme. I love an all-american Summer theme and I think it would be perfect. In the bazillion boxes still waiting to be unpacked in the garage I have tons of red,white, and blue treasures just waiting to be shown off.


Since I am working today and don't have alot of time to play I decided to surf around on the web and find some patriotic inspiration. Growing up in my house we always were patriotic it wasn't just a few days a year.


                                                                        

I can't wait for all the parties and outdoor bbq's!  Lots of and lots of them!!!

                                                       



 So many decorating ideas........ I don't know which one I want to do first.. Hmmm......

                                         





                                           
                                                     
    Then there is the food....imagine the possibilities....



                                                   
Then my favorite part of Summer is all of the cakes I get to eat........yummy!!!


The honey prefers to drool over the cars. I don't wanna give him any ideas!!!


                 
A lightbulb just went off in my head! If I can get done with all my cleaning I could get to all the fun decorating and cooking for Summer.

Now who can argue with that...


XOXOXO,

  1. Great idea. Think I'll dig something out. Sometimes the realtors put small flags on everyone's curbside. It makes the whole street look so nice.
