\I was going to make some seams on the tablecloths, but I ran out of time. I cut them with some jagged scissors my mom lent me, and left the cool fabric ends of some of them too. I got cheap $1 hankies from the Target bins and used them all around the house too.
I made patriotic cupcakes & got some cool muffin papers and flags to put on them from Target. I think I got this cute cupcake display from Wal-Mart.
My friend @ work made this for me! She has a cool Etsy shop. I got the cute paper lanters on the sides from Target.
Cute pinwheels from Michaels... I put red, white & silver bead necklaces in a flower vase to hold them. I got the necklaces at Target, and I had the vase.
Cute paper America banner I made with ABC banner from ModCloth.com - you can mix it up every holiday.
Cool bucket we have from James's partner - filled with Coronas & ice. James did this one himself. :P
Cute patriotic towel from Big Lots, paper straws from BevMo, spinny straws from Target, Sunflowers from James from Albertsons, and my cool Kirkland beverage dispenser in glass - on a cool iron stand. I got the tag for it from Pier 1.
I was waiting for James to go grocery shopping and he hadn't gone, so I got started. I like to make my Sangria the night before, so all the flavors soak up good overnight. So, I used what I had, and wrote down what I threw in. They both turned out super yummy.. and I made them with LOVE! :)
My White Sangria Recipe:
- 1.5L white moscato wine
- 1 bottle white zinfandel wine
- 2 cups of blueberry vodka
- 2 cups of contreau (orange liqueur)
- 2 quarts of water, with 2 lemonade Crystal Lite packets mixed in
- 2 cans of Squirt, 1 can of Sprite
- 4 small lemons sliced up & thrown in
- 1/3 cup of fresh lemon juice (used the ends that didn't look pretty sliced up & squeezed the juice in)
- 2 cups of frozen blueberries
- 2 cups of frozen peach slices
- 10 strawberries in slices
- 1 Fuji apple in slices
- 1 medium orange in slices
- ice!

Fun USA banner from Big Lots, and paper star banners from Wal-Mart.
