The Look of July

It’s always a dilemma as to exactly when to put up the 4th of July decorations.

Do you put them up in June–for a month?

Do you put them up in July– for a week?

I found a happy medium.

I put them up the last week of June…

and leave them up…

till July 25th–after Pioneer Day.  Feels perfectly patriotic to me.

Happy Independence Day!!

 

Patriot Puzzle

Ohhhhh my goodness…did I ever love this one!!

Yessss, it had letters on the back that just encouraged me to be a big cheater.

But July is coming up fast so that became my excuse…

to not dilly-dally around.

Come on…

admit it.

Isn’t this the coolest 4th of July puzzle you’ve ever SEEN?!

Salute To The Flag

I accomplished my goal of finishing this Patriotic puzzle before the end of July. Now, you know I love my puzzles–but this one was a tough one. The pieces weren’t interlocking, which means they slid apart after I’d put it together. Plus all the pieces were so similar that I had no idea if things were in the right place. I know, I know. “Wahhh–wahh.”

I love the Norman Rockwell picture here, especially since we don’t see this print often. I’ll have to find this painting somewhere else because I’m not doing this misery puzzle ever again.

Haha.
