America

I love just about anything Americana. 

When I first moved here and got to hang out with my sister Candace, 

I quickly found out she had a thing for Americana stuff. 

You could say it rubbed off on me just a tad.... 

We were constantly on the lookout for all things that were

barn red's, soft steely navy blue's, cream or resembled twine. 

I love anything primitive and folk art-ish

and when we do our bazaar each year

there ends up being a bit of it in just about everything we do.

So this year I needed to add to my Patriotic Decor a bit

 and found some fabulous paper to help me out!

I'll be teaching these letters as a class down at Paper Cottage

on the 19th of June and if I'm ambitious enough

I'll actually head over and update my Etsy shop!:)

It's been a crazy couple of weeks for me

with the unexpected back surgery for

my Superman Father who

has a really hard time accepting help. 

He's used to doing everything for everyone else

and doesn't quite know what to do when he can't. 

But for me it's a pleasure and an honor to be able

to actually help he and my Mom out. 

Now if I can just get through

the last week of school and

Kindergarten graduation......
