Favorite Pin Friday | Volume 10

Can’t believe Favorite Pin Friday is 10 weeks old now. Have you read them all? There are links at the bottom of the post so you can catch up…#FBF lol Today is about DIY 4th of July decorations. Every year the hubs and I throw a 4th of July party and every year it grows! The first year we had about 10 people and last year almost 40. Everyone seems to love it and look forward to it so we keep hosting. I rarely decorate since the party is outside and guests are more interested in BBQ and fireworks. Doesn’t mean I can’t decorate and Pinterest is full of crafty ideas for a patriotic party! Here are the favorite pins I’ve run across.

Patriotic Monogram Door Hanger with Burlap Bow | Etsy
This patriotic monogram door hanger would be easy to do. Hit up Hobby Lobby or any craft store to find the wooden letter, paints, and ribbon. Grab some painters tape and you’re good to go. This would be a fun project if you have kids who are a little older.

Patriotic String Lights | eHow

So simple! Ballons, glue, yarn, and a string of lights (which you probably have from Christmas!) Another kid friendly project. Good luck with the sticky hands mom and dad đŸ˜‰

Rag Wreath | Sassy Sanctuary

I think this would be easy, but cutting all those stripes of fabric would take awhile. I like this type of wreath as an alternative to the deco mesh wreaths everywhere.

KariAnne over at Thistlewood Farm shared cute and easy ways to decorate for the 4th. Tell me what you’re doing to decorate for 4th of July in the comments below.

I’ll be recapping our trip to California in Monday’s post. xoxo Becca

Fresh Fragrance

Hi all! As you read this I am in California, but I wanted to make sure you had something to do while I was away đŸ˜‰ As if you don’t have your own little lives to keep you busy.

Like the combo of black and white, I have an obsession with perfume. Mostly I just love the bottles haha I haven’t purchased any in awhile because I’ve been gifted some or I talk myself out of a new bottle because I know there are several at home needing to be used. These are my favorite for spring/summer.

Victoria’s Secret Bombshell Body Mist
Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue
Ed Hardy Hearts and Daggers
Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh

Bonus!!! These are two colognes the hubs uses that I love. Always love a good smelling man!

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue
Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male

Until next post…xoxo Becca
