July 4th Festivities

I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable July 4th. To me the Fourth of July is the best holiday of the year. I get so excited every year when this time comes around. I love decorating for the 4th and I love all the festivities that come along with it. I especially love the warm weather! 

This year to decorate my front porch I made a patriotic B door hanger.

I already had the paint, painters tape, and wooden stars so the total cost of this project was only $8 for the large B. I had a coupon for 40% off one full price item that I used because otherwise I would've paid $16 for the B. While I was at Hobby Lobby I also bought a few patriotic planter stakes to put in my planters at the front door.

To celebrate the fourth of July my fiancè and I spent a relaxing day together going to a few stores, trying out new restaurants, and finally going to see the fireworks at the Square.

I thought this one was really cool because it was shaped like a sideways UFO/Saucer rather than the typical wide circle

I love this one since it has so many colors in it.

We really enjoyed the whole thing...especially the BIG finale. They did a great job wowing the audience this year. I have never seen a finale like this one. I'm pretty sure at once they had shot off like 10-15 fireworks which were all exploding together creating this amazing explosion of color in the sky.

Seasonal Wreath Ideas

Since we've moved into our new house I've been trying to come up with ideas for wreaths that match the season or the holiday. Here's a few I've made so far...

This cute little monogrammed bunny was for Easter. I got the cutout from Unfinished Wood Co. through a deal site called Groopdealz. It arrived a little later than I expected so I only had time to paint it before it was already Easter weekend. Next year I think I'll add a cute little bow.

This one was one I created to Welcome Spring. I made a burlap wreath then added a few floral decorations as well as a burlap bunting that matches the flower color. It looks really nice on our front porch with the pink flowers in the stone planters.

Now, it's almost July 4th and time to celebrate being an American. I'm trying to decide what wreath I want to make now. I really want something patriotic, but I don't know exactly what I want. 

Here's a few of the Pinterest inspirations I have found....

Now I just have to decide what I want to do for my patriotic wreath for July. It looks like it's time for me to go shopping at my local craft stores. I think the first place I'll hit up is Michael's since they are having 15% off your entire purchase from 3pm-7pm today.
