A Patriotic Welcome
This is the patriotic decor we have at our home this summer. I always have a patriotic theme from Memorial Day until Labor Day. In May I went to the craft store and purchased everything I needed to make my wreath (flowers, ribbon and small flag.) I like to shop at the craft store when I can "catch" their holiday/seasonal sales. I already had the grapevine wreath so that didn't cost a thing! All I had to do was make the bow and glue the flowers on and VIOLA, I have a patriotic wreath for less than four dollars! Not too bad!! It really doesn't take much money at all to create a different wreath for each season. It sure is a nice way to say "welcome" to friends and family. All you need is your "trusty" glue gun (lol) and a little bit of imagination!What says "welcome" to guests at your house!

I've made a few little patriotic cross-stitched projects that I put up each year, these small framed items are changed as each season passes. I put mine up from Memorial Day until the 4th, then I go with summery things, such as sunflowers, country designs, watermelons, etc. I've also taken a fancy to making doorhangers for each season, there are endless possiblities for this because I use the cute scrapbooking supplies that are out there. It is amazing the detail those teeny, tiny items have!!
Clarice, thank you! I love our country and it is just one small way I can show my patriotism!
Marie, I was so interested to hear of your door hangers. What a clever idea! I know what you mean about the scrapbooking items, I have a hard time leaving that aisle at the store! Wish I could see a pic. of one of your doorhangers!
Susan, Your front entrance looks sooo lovely and welcoming... nice job!!

Jennifer, gosh, it even has so much more meaning when I realize all the personal sacrifices your family, along with countless others, is making on a daily basis for our country. God bless.
