I love these balls I saw on pinterest. 

Make our own and put them a bowl for the 4th.

 I like this idea of a pillow. 

I would use more shabby chic cotton fabric.  So cute.

 Can put these anywhere in the house.  Found it on Pinterest.

 Another banner idea... pinterest.

 I like this banner idea that was posted earlier. 

I like the fabric look.

Last, but not least, summer is coming and we all love to swim.  This would be cute to make for our kids.

I love the ideas that have been posted earlier... especially the fabric wreath. 

I just wanted to submit some ideas so I don't feel like a slacker.

More great craft ideas

 I am loving the square fire crackers, and the cute sign:

 This wreath was done with paper and ribbon, soooo cute:

I would love a sign like this to hang in my guest bath.  They would all be very personal, we would all put places we have lived, along with places you and your family, love to visit/vacation.

April Craft Night???

http://designdazzle.blogspot.com/2010/07/4th-of-july-old-fashioned-crafts.html
I'd love to end Craft Group with a BANG and make these paper Firecrackers  (Yes I'm a nerd)

Is the next Craft Night really in April or is it in May? Either way, I wanted to post a few ideas. I know it's early but I think it would be fun to do a patriotic craft. The ONLY 4th of July decor I own is my one little banner we made at Lisa's a couple years ago. (Which I love) Anyways, here's a couple ideas....

Looks like that flag banner is made out of oil cloth. So cute for inside or out. Is that an oilcloth BBQ cover I see in the background? That girl has gone above and beyond....

'Patriotic Wall Art'
I was thinking it would be fun for us to do something like this, it reminds me of the Valentine's hearts we did last year when Amy hosted, but 4th of July style. We could do any shape.

It's Spa Day!

A few notes about our upcoming project.  
It will take place at Rebecca's house at 8pm, Wed. March 14th.
I know this is a later start, but Doug is gone and I need time to get my kids to bed before our party.  If you have any questions about the supply list or anything else let me know!


What we will be making:
Each person will make 8 soaps and 3 sugar scrubs with cute identifying tags.


What to bring:
-3 half pint size jars and lids for Sugar Scrub.  
In my opinion, wide mouth is best to get out all the scrub.  But really any metal or glass container with a screw top lid will do.  Just make sure it holds 1 cup.  These were not purchased because many of you already have some lying around your house.   
-Medium size microwave safe bowl for mixing soap.  
The kind with a spout if you have it (like pampered chef kind) or a glass measuring cup would even work too.  
-regular size muffin tin 
This is our soap mold.  We will also have other shapes to choose from.  If you have a fun shaped muffin tin you would like to use, bring it.
-rubber spatula
-Scissors
-(Optional) Embellishments for tags
We will provide supplies to make tags including paper, twine, burlap, a few buttons and ribbon.  Feel free to bring some scraps from home to use for your tags or jar lids.  We will have everything from the bin available also.  


Looking forward to a fun night!
