Happy 4th of July!

Here's a shot of our beloved Stars & Stripes in alpine tundra atop Rocky Mountain National Forest! Truly incredible! We've been celebrating the 4th at a family reunion in Colorado all weekend (recap of awesome Colorado activities to come)! 
Whatever your plans for the day, I hope you have a very happy and safe 4th of July, celebrating the 'ole USA!

 

What do YOUR 4th of July festivities usually include?

American Flag Photo Collage Frame

If you want a festive way to display your favorite 4th of July photos, making this frame is perfect! It's a fairly quick, easy, and inexpensive project that makes for a nice patriotic display! I've shared all the directions for creating this little DIY photo collage frame over on the Happy Housewife! Hope you enjoy! 
And, if you missed it, but are looking for more patriotic ideas for this weekend, you can check out the 4th of July round-up post! 

What are YOU doing for the 4th?

Patriotic Ideas Round Up

There are SO many great ideas out there to showcase all the patriotic red, white, and blue! I think Steph over at Somewhat Simple is right!....

"Creative Patriotism At It's Best!!"

In addition to all those over at Somewhat Simple, here's where I've found some great patriotic inspiration...
Jamie at C.R.A.F.T. has great round-ups for 4th of July! I especially like the edible crafts post, featuring many yummy things like this Cake Ball Flag from My Juice Cup! Too cute!

No surprise that Amy at Living Locurto has a great round up of 4th of July printables, including her adorable flip flop tags!

Speaking of printables, I LOVE this "Land of the Free" sign on I Heart Naptime! I had some high aspirations of making shirts for the boys inspired it, but am going to have to file it away for another year.

 

While you're over at I Heart Naptime, be sure to check out her 4th of July round up as well! She included one the favorites I had found too--these awesome confetti popper rockers from Alphamom! The kids would LOVE making these!!

If you didn't know already, Tip Junkie is probably queen of "round-ups" and has whole branch off pages/sites dedicated to different themes and holidays. Be sure to check out the July page for tons of creative ideas! 

And, last, but certainly not least, feel free to come see what some of my favorite ideas are by checking out my patriotic board on Pinterest (this is my latest addiction, post coming soon)!

What are YOUR 4th of July plans?  (We're headed to Denver for a 4th of July family reunion!)
