We had our annual 4th of July BBQ. This is probably my favorite decoration I did for the party. I created a “hallway” of balloons and a path of stars leading our guests into the backyard. My husband cut out the star pattern from cardboard and then spray painted them onto the grass. We’ll be VERY patriotic for quite some time! 😉

Sickly Thanks
We’ve had quite a few sickly ones to visit recently! My brother had surgery, then 2 days after that my dad had surgery and then one week after that our niece had surgery! Since cookies always make me feel better I was hoping they’d help them while healing. So I grabbed their favorite cookies and made these cards to go along with them. I added a bow to my niece’s tough cookie. Hopefully, we’re done with hospitals for a good amount of time but just in case…send healing thoughts our way! 😉

“One”der the Sea Party Food
Since we had the party at 2 I decided to forgo a whole lunch and just did a dessert buffet. I made the food signs from a printable I purchased on Etsy and made the crab toppers. HERE’S the post on those
“One”der the Sea Party Crafts
I knew I wanted to call the cupcakes at the “One”der the Sea Party crab cakes but it was so expensive to buy individual crab toppers and I’m not skilled in any way with fondant so I thought this would work best. I used my Cricut to cut out these crabs. The cartridge was Life’s a Beach and I cut them to be 3 inches. After I just drew on the details, did a lot of hole punching for the one crab’s cheeks and taped them to lollipop sticks.
