4th of July: Weekend Wrap-Up

What is a holiday weekend without good food, fireworks and a little crafting?

We had a great time celebrating, and I had fun making sure it was all pretty.

 A festive strawberry shortcake dessert to take to Mamaw & Papaw's on Friday.  

I added blueberries just for the blue color and cut star shapes from the shortcake.

 Red, white & blue smoothies for our Sunday brunch.

 I found these star-shaped ice cube trays at Dollar Tree for $1.  

Using food coloring I made a few red and blue stars for our dinner drinks and brunch smoothies.

 I loved opening the fridge and seeing lots of yummy snacks, all in the appropriate colors;

Cherries, blueberries, golden honeydew and watermelon!

 Baby Girl and I made this cute little cake on Saturday.  

We used a French vanilla mix and paired it with cotton candy flavored icing (that also created the lovely shade of blue).  We used red food coloring for the cake batter and star shapes.

 Yay! With everything going on I still found the time to sew on this year's quilt patches!

Now I can pack it away with my 4th of July decor and not worry about it again until next year.  I love efficiency!

(You can see the quilt before this year's patches were added here)

Baby Girl and the fireworks. 

I love photography and this one will make a great decor item once framed.

That was our weekend, hope you had a nice one as well!

Thanks for stopping by!
