A 4th of July Party is the perfect excuse to get your grub on with friends, family or neighbors. Besides, who doesn't love some yummy red, white and blue food?! :) Hi there friends, I hope your first full weekend of summer was filled with fun and sun!

Buffalo Check Nursery Sign Tutorial
My Buffalo Check Nursery Sign is sponsored by DecoArt. As always the ideas and opinions shared are my own. If you haven't noticed, I have a bit of an obsession with buffalo check!
