SATURDAY'S SPOONFUL - a small dose of sugar, spice + everything nice

a few fun last minute ideas for the 4th:

~ cute menus

~ buckets of berries with cheery self-adhesive labels via office supply store + your printer

~ homemade pie (my fave!)

~ "operation gratitude" stationery station. this idea fires me up! (thank you, bh&g)...set up a postcard station where your friends + family write notes to our men + women in service. decorate the cards with "fireworks" stickers, glitter and send the bundle to:

operation gratitude
