Only a few more days until the 4th of July, so it’s time to roll out the grill and light those sparklers. Here’s some fun DIY projects that will add some patriotic pizazz to your BBQ. This darling (and seriously cheap) DIY project was made by Rebekah Gough, who cleverly used red, white, and blue...
I have always just winged it when it comes to making snowflakes. I fold this way and that and then cut a little here and a little there and hope it comes out well. It doesn’t always. If you would like to try this type of project, do yourself a favor and take a look...

It’s a beautiful sunny day here in SF but the temperature is beginning to dip and it’s got me thinking about winter decor ideas.
