4th July Ideas!

+++ I tried to publish this post yesterday morning before rushing out to meet Sue in San Marcos, but for some reason Blogger wouldn’t let me! It loaded fine this morning so here ya go!

We’re gearing up for our 4th July celebrations here. We’ll be celebrating with our fabulous ‘neighs’ next door as we have done every year since we moved here (4 yrs ago)! It is always a fun day and this year even more so . . .  my bestest bloggy friend Sue (and her wonderful hubby Doug) is coming to visit for the weekend from CANADA! They are actually in Austin right now (Doug is working all week) and I’m off to meet up with Sue today at the San Marcus Outlets – I can’t wait, and another whole post will be devoted to that outing I’m sure ;-)

But first, back to the prep for our party! I’ve been searching the web for some ideas and I’ve come up with quite a few. If you want some fun ideas read on . . . . (all pictures link back to the website I found them on)

I SO want to make this delicious looking trifle from Gina at Skinny Taste!

Check out the cute cupcakes from Mycakeschool.com I have that garland so I plan on making some little cakes and adding the stick and stars in them just like she shows!

Don’t these Daiquiris look amazing :-) and I love the white chocolate on the strawberries.

 

and I just have to make this martini – I’ve got the Blue Curacao from when I made the blue margarita, and  I already bought the Pop Rocks!

Both drinks can be found at the lovely Pink Martinis & Pearls!

Clicking on the pictures will take you to the specific posts about how to make all these wonderful fun things.

Ok, it’s time to head on out to the outlets. . . . Suzie, here I come!!!
