As American As........

As you all know, the life of a blogger is not all bright lights and glamour. Sometimes we have to get down to business and get those decorations made for the next big holiday. Since we're going away for The Fourth, those decorations had to get made last week. Except for a few final tweaks, the project was finished before midnight last night. Here are the results....... As American as baseball and apple pie.....where's the apple pie? That's the tweaking I was talking about.

I think I like the boxes better up here. They go with the banner decorated with children playing drums and dressing up in costumes..............
like this little cutie with his sailor suit and sword.

The colors are softer and more romantic than...................
..........the primaries for the breakfast room.
Even the precious Uncle Sam that I won from Sheila came to the party.

Those favor baskets are going to be filled with chocolate kisses for the nieces and nephews we're going to visit. Can't wait to see them,but until then............................... .................................the decor will be right here.

UPDATE: Tweaking done. The box is now complete with apple pie.
