A quick share!

Hi! I hope everyone had a really splendid 4th of July.  :)  My kids had a blast lighting fireworks and throwing poppers. I had the obligatory heart attack when Charlie waved a sparkler so hard that the actual firework flew CLEAN OFF the stick that you hold onto.  Ugh.  Nobody got hurt though, and through out the night there was lots of laughter, cheering and clapping.  Memories were made. They loved the little frilly fountains just as much as the big boomers.  :)

we got some good firework pics

Charlie holding a sparkler!  with grandmas help after he flung one like a lunatic!!!

I started to put foliage on the tree today, but after some talk with Brae, I need to go get some spray adhesive and then shred some more foam.  Here is where we sit so far though:

In Diane's tutorial, she instructs you to use steel wool as the base.

Then, there was some work on the ____________, which I cannot show you.  :P  And I did these:

The island of Santorini, Greece.

They will be listed in my Etsy shop tomorrow.  Along with the books that I have yet to list.  :)
