July Decorations

 I am ready for July.....or at least my decorations are officially up and ready to go.  I'll have to think about my upcoming camping trip soon or that will be a disaster!!

I love my wooden block Flag.

 I also love my Fire Crackers!

 And here it all is put together. 

Happy JULY everyone!

Here are the links to where I got my ideas.

Wooden Flag (I changed my sizes to 8" for the long pieces and 4" for the smaller pieces.

I also mod Podged Fabric strips to the wood instead of paper.  The star is made out of felt.

Fire Crackers (I cut mine to 9", 7" and 5".  The flame part is just silver pipe cleaner)

Star Felt Banner (found in this etsy shop)

And the fun subway art printable (free)

Summertime "Stew"

 Who says you can't have stew in the summertime?

Change it up a bit and make it with summertime veggies and meat and you have yourself a simple and scrumptious dinner for your family.

 This is what I use in my summer stew: 

green and yellow peppers, yellow squash, zucchini, onions, carrots, pineapple tidbits (drained), Johnsonville Beddar Cheddar sausages.

Dice up all your veggies and sausage and put into a bowl. Season with olive oil, garlic salt, steak seasoning and a little kosher salt.  Mix all together then lay it all out on a large jelly roll pan.  Cover with foil and cook in your oven on 325* for 45-60 minutes.  You can serve it right up like this or it is lovely over rice.

Enjoy!

In Honor of Summer......Door Wreath

In Honor of the FIRST DAY of SUMMER.......

 Here is my Summer Time Wreath for my front door. 

I made it by simply wrapping a wooden frame I had laying around, with yarn.  Then I made a small pennant flag banner to hang on it then simply took a clip from my girls hair collection to embellish it with.

Happy Summer Everyone! 

I hope it is here to stay and I am also hoping that I can survive a summer pregnancy as well  :)

I am still here but this is why I have been MIA
