4th of July Blog Hop

     Welcome to our 4th of July Blog Hop! What comes to mind, when you think of the 4th of July? Being with family, barbeques, picnics, and fireworks? That's what comes to my mind.  But, few know the actual reason we are celebrating this holiday. We know it has something to do with America, the flag, and independence.  On July 4, 1776, United States of America declared its independence from Britain.  So today is America’s Birthday! Happy Birthday, America!
     Today we have a lot of wonderful, talented women wanting to celebrate this holiday, with you. In case you get lost and want to start at the beginning, go to Pamela’s blog. Here is the full lineup:

If you arrived from Jenny's blog then you are on the right track.

     For today's hop I made a decoration to hang on my door.


She is made from a Scrapping with Lisa paper piecing pattern you will be able to find here. She was this weeks freebie file if you are a newsletter subscriber! I made the circle in SCAL and creted the swing just by cutting strips of paper. Then, as you can see below, I punched a hole so that I can hang it up! Hope you enjoyed seeing my patriotic girl!



Thanks for stopping by! Now I must send you to CallyAnn's blog.

Have a safe and wonderful 4th of July!
