Hello friends and welcome to the 99th All About Home Link Party! I hope you all have had a wonderful Fourth of July Holiday Weekend! I love patriotic decor and celebrations! We spent a “quiet” (if you can call the Fourth of July quiet!) evening at home with our annual “big time” fireworks show for the neighborhood kids.

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing how to give a book a new look by creating an easy scap paper DIY book cover and ribbon book mark. This was a totally impromptu craft inspired by a free book that I found on the library “free books” cart when I went to check out my new classroom today (Yay!

Earlier this week I shared how I transformed a “Ho-hum-hummingbird” from the dollar store into a “vintage” copper garden stake! Check out my post to see how I came up with the end look by experimenting with different paints.
I can’t believe it’s the Fourth of July weekend! I am late on adding patriotic decor indoors this year, but here’s a throwback to a fun Pinterest Challenge from last summer with a styled patritotic tray theme. I will be adding a few similar touches around the house today and tomorrow in preparation for celebrating the holiday!
Now it’s time for some beautiful features from last week’s party!
