Hey, this is going to be fun.

We should do a father's day gift swap :) lol. " No honey, don't get me anything ." "What another tie!! and socks!??" ---guys just aren't very fun to shop for , and you can only give so many-- 'coupons':)--- they always want to cash in on them when you're mad at them! --

-Well back to fourth of july ( my favorite holiday). I'm soo glad to be doing this ! I'm sick of the above decorations ,-- you know-- cheap, easy, and great for outdoor picnics. I'm really lovin the americana. My inspiration is ---tin , the rustier the better! I'm hoping to get lots of great ideas from you all. Cat, this is great, you must not be sleeping much -- so many great ideas! love you sis!!

TTFN

welcome

okay. so first the rules (annoying i know, but the better the rules, the better the packages!)

1. you need to send me your snail mail address

2. get working on those packages (i know that some of you don't really consider yourself crafty, or creative. that's what the internet is for. seriously. there is no point in re-inventing the wheel.)

3. share information about yourselves to your partner. for example, such as if you have kids, aka girls that would love 4th of july hairbows etc.

4. there should be at least three items in your package, if one is a bigger item, such as an apron, runner etc.
always err on the side of more, rather than less. think of what you would want to receive. (and i know that all of you want good packages)

5. make stuff that YOU adore instead of thinking what the other person would want.

6.ask questions. post them on this blog if you need ideas, help, information or something good to share that you found. the more interactive you are, the more fun it becomes. you are all going to be authors. so...post away!
