I know I should have spent my Fourth of July day off packing up something, but I wanted to get out of the old house and go look for stuff for the new house. I honestly don't plan on buying a lot of new stuff for the house, but I need some shower curtains. I'm over the one in the pink bathroom I've had. The only reason I had it is because it matched the pink tile. Plus I need another one for the other bathroom. I'm not using the palm tree one that I've had for probably 15 years now in the spare. Seriously, I've had it that long. I need new. With shower curtains, I need bath mats. I also wanted some succulents to plant in mason jars to put on my kitchen table underneath the light fixture that has jars. So, there's not really anywhere to shop in town outside of Walmart and Big Lots, so off to Waxahachie I went, dragging Mom with me. Went to Hobby Lobby because we could. Mom bought a little rock owl. Went to Target. Bought nothing. Went to Lowe's....

After a trip to Hobby Lobby for Christmas supplies (no, they still don't have everything I need out yet), I worked on crafts for most of my Fourth of July. I didn't need to head out to the city's fireworks show because while I was gluing leaves on fall signs, they house two doors back were doing a show all their own. I'm surprised they didn't catch their trees and the rest of the neighborhood on fire for all they had going on back there. It sounded like I was in middle of a major choreographed display. They weren't the only ones though. I could hear others from another direction and could also see someone shooting them off in the park from my back door. Yes, they are illegal in the city limits, but unless you cut off the sales... I've actually been hearing from for days. Here are a couple of my latest creations, done with fireworks abounding. Available in other colors to be personalized. 

I hope everyone has had a great, fun, and safe Fourth of July with family and friends. Since I had to work last weekend, I took yesterday off and have spent the last couple of days working on craft orders and working on Christmas in July projects.  Had flags in one room and Christmas trees in the other. Someone tagged me on Facebook with a red, white and blue initial a little over a week ago, so I have put my spin on these. I have to brag and say that I think these came out better than the original.
