Good morning all and to all my
American friends ...
We live close enough to the Pearland High School where the festivities take place followed by fireworks. So we get together with our children and grandchildren, enjoy a barbecue and then at night we all sit outside together with neighbours and their families and watch the fireworks. This has become our 4th of July tradition for the last 10 years. Today, though we are crossing fingers that the weather cooperates because we've been having heavy downpours since last night as a pressure system moves through. According to the weatherman, it's all supposed to move out by mid afternoon, so there is hope yet 😄
Challenge # 169 ~ Red, White & Blue
Now, onto our new challenge at Crafty Gals Corner.
Keeping the 4th of July celebration in mind, our challenge this week is Red, White & Blue.
Of course, if you're not celebrating with us, you can still play along with us by incorporating Red, White & Blue in your project. If you hop on to our Crafty Gals Corner Blog, you will find great inspiration from our DT which is made up from Crafty Gals from all over the world.
We have 3 wonderful and very generous sponsors for this challenge. They are:
