Spirit Lady

Just when I thought I had reached my red-white-and-blue limit, my spirit lady whispered, "Go big or go home, Shug." So Naturally, I did what any festive soul with a glue gun and a soft spot for sparkle would do.  I DID MORE!





I Think Uncle Sam himself would feel right at home. I found these adorable cupcakes at Hobby Lobby and they were screaming my name....Bonus: THEY LIGHT UP!!  I also found this cute little camper that lights up...it was a must have or perhaps one of those I want things.  




Then, I stepped outside to the pool area and said....Why Not?  I bedazzled the plants around the pool just a bit.  Red, white and Blue twirly twirls....and some sparkly 4th of July sticks. Would you believe that in typing this, I just now remembered my red-white-and-blue gnomes....I will have to get them out tomorrow.  






The family is coming over for the 4th of July and I want to make sure that they know that I love to decorate as well as Celebrate!!




All that is left to do on the 4th is...Light the grill, crank up the music and EAT.  

Shug....🎆

Oh Shug, those cupcake decorations are absolutely adorable. Someone really came up with a good plan when they designed those. I am so sorry your "forever love" is unable to eat too much at this part of his life. God bless that man. And God bless his wife, too!
Too TooToo!!!!!!!

Thank you for sharing your decorations and San's update:

"Praying for answers to know the exact type of Cancer that he has in order to begin the treatments." I'm praying for you too. Much love and hugs. Have a safe trip.

Love those cupcakes. I don't remember seeing those at Hobby Lobby. Then again the last time I was there I didn't browse too much as I was there for a specific item and on a time limit. Looks like you are all ready for the 4th. Let the party begin.

Also, I forgot to check the update since I wasn't able to get around to blog reading yesterday. Just wanted to say that I am praying for the two of you today.

Those cupcakes are delightful. I thought they were real at first. And I love the camper. Looking forward to seeing your gnomes. They are just funny characters. Your pool looks cool with the pink light. Have fun decorating, Shug. I don't have a whole lot of decor for the 4th, but I do have a sweet little gnome and a patriotic Troll that I've had since I was a kid. Will never part with it haha.
