We had some friends over for the night, watched the fireworks from our back yard and played with sparklers. What did you do?

What fun!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the banner! How cool is that?! The fruit skewers were so cute and who doesn't love sunflowers?! Was the mac n cheese recipe from deceitfully delicious?? Also- I adore the cupcake sparkler...it TOTALLY looks like one!!! Glad your Holiday weekend was good!!!
ReplyDeleteThe recipe was a martha stewart one, but I couldn't find the exact one, it is butternut squash, cheddar cheese and elbow noodles. SO GOOD!
ReplyDeleteA tip for the sparkler photos: If possible, you could also set your camera to the "B" setting, Stands for "Bulb." This allows your shutter to be open for as long as you are holding the button. You would also want to set your f/stop to the smallest opening your camera has.
