for all of you blogging Yankee Doodle Dandies.
Join us with your celebratory posts!
Did you rock those cute American flag cutoff shorts?
Betsy Ross would be so proud (I'm looking at you, Burns).
Did you make a cake shaped like the 48 continental states?
I want to know, did you agonize over including Hawaii and Alaska? Puerto Rico?
Did you visit the 13 original colonies?
Can you name the 50 states?
Can you explain the electoral college in 100 words or less?
Did your husband barbecue your back yard down and live to tell the tale?
Here are a few ideas I'd love to try myself...
I mean.
Spray paint.
Brown paper bags?
I could make this.
Like, where do I even begin with this?
It would be a bit of a commitment for just one day.
And you'd need a lot of red books....
But how awesome would your house look with this?
I mean, I really love America. Having a bookshelf like this would prove that.
Red Vines.
Need I say more?
Okay, I will.
If someone made this for a party, I would not leave the food table.
Heck. That's where you'd find me anyway.
I'd just have red vine junk all up in my grill the whole time.
YUM.
Can you say FANCY?
FAHHHH-SEE.
This must happen.
Except.
Here's my deal. This is like a fruit salad on a stick?

And bananas do NOT belong in a fruit salad.
I need to make this. And sub out marshmallows for bananas.
Right?
Head over to Katy's place to see some awesome Etsy Americana she is featuring today.
And here is my pinterest board which has a little more patriotic inspiration.
Channing Tatum might be on there.
A true American gem.
We want to give you plenty of time to relax and enjoy the holiday and the weekend, so spread the word
and link up here,
or at Katygirl's Place on Monday, July 9th!
(Also, if you do PinterTest something, be sure to link up at Jessica's place for her monthly PinterTest kitchen - which will be up on 7/5 and is open all month)
It doesn't even have to be a craft, or a recipe, maybe all you did was take a nap.
Just share with us how you celebrated America's Birthday!
yay! fun!
