Go Fourth and Craft...

I love the Fourth of July.  I've always loved it.  I'm sure as a kid, it had more to do with it falling so near my birthday. {I grew up thinking the fireworks were for me.} Now, I love it because I love my country!  I'm a red-blooded American, and so, so proud to call this place home.  I love me some red, white and blue!

I had intentions of getting a crafty tutorial up for the Fourth, but time got away from me, and it's just not going to happen.  So, I figured I'd do the next best thing, and share some fun and simple ideas in case you have the itch to create something this weekend!

Some flying rockets?  via Alphamom

Fabric Star Medallions?  via Martha

And last, but certainly not least,  how about some insanely cute printables via The Sweetest Occasion?

A little something for everyone, I think.

Tell me, are you as patriotic to your country as I am?  {American or otherwise.}
If you are American, where did your ancestors come from?  Mine are mostly from Germany, some French, some English and a little Native American for good measure. 
If you're not American, what country are you from?

p.s. Speaking of Fourths...Today is Miss Ava's 4th birthday!  Happy Birthday, sweetheart!  I hope you have a wonderful day!  I'll be sending something special home with your mama next week!  XOXO Auntie Jen
