Today is day 4 of my series:

Day 3: An American Flag Fruit Plate for July 4th

I happen to love nearly all decorations that are Red, White & Blue. I keep one side of my fireplace mantle (we have a fireplace in the middle of the room) decorated with stars and stripes all year long. Some people think it’s out of place and that I just decorated for the 4th of July, but I didn’t. And I don’t care! 😉

Here’s an easy craft to get your home decked out with patriotic embellishments.

4th of July Craft: Patriotic Wreath

Supplies:

Cardboard
Scissors
Card Stock Paper in Red, White & Blue (or you could use an old wallpaper book like we did!)
Glue
Star Stencil in multiple sizes.

First, start by cutting out a circle with a hole cut out of the middle of it for your wreath form.

Trace several red, white and blue stars in varying shapes. Cut them out.

Glue them all onto the cardboard wreath form. Place the larger ones on the bottom layer, overlapping a bit. Next, place the medium sized ones and then randomly place the smaller ones, being sure to alternate colors and sizes as much as possible.

Enjoy getting ready for food, fireworks, family and friends! In our town, they start selling fireworks on June 27th. Coming right up!

This post is a part of the 5 Days of Summer series that I’m hosting along with 11 other bloggers. Some of the topics include:

Love this! so clever of you to use pages from a wallpaper book.

Around here, we put up our patriotic decorations for Flag Day (June 14) and leave them up until aft the 4th.

Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much. I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals. This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week. So grateful!

Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans. They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me! The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking. I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year. My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer. Thank you so much

This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children. I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home. I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day. I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it! Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well! So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table. Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
