INSIDE: How to make a fun USA patriotic banner from paper goodie bags, cocktail napkins and scrapbook paper. Easy 4th July home decor.
How do you celebrate the Red, White and Blue? In our pre-kids life, we would lounge around the pool and enjoy any excuse for a patriotic beverage.
But now with three cute “party crashers”, these summer holidays are spent doing something. It’s either heading to a small town 4th of July parade as we drag along snacks and sunscreen, or chasing three kids going in three directions at a local carnival.

Nice meeting you on Janine’s blog, Victoria. You and I could “hang” as I love anywhere with a beach and a view as well. And Coronado – beautiful. I also loved your answer to her question about your proudest accomplishment. That isn’t easy to achieve, but it sure pays rewards for years and years. Love the banner – patriotic crafts are one of my favorites:)
