Independence Day

Happy Independence Day everyone!   Half of my family is away at a Work Camp for our church youth group, so it’s kind of an odd July 4th for me.   But some good friends have invited myself and my oldest daughter over to grill burgers and feast on the cucumbers I picked from my garden today and a blueberry pie from the berries we picked earlier this week.  It doesn’t get much better than that does it?  I hope your day is full of fun and friends and remembrance of the many blessings, privileges, and responsibilities we owe to the men who had the courage to sign that Declaration of Independence all those many years ago, and to the women who stood alongside them.   

Below are two projects created years ago by Cheryl Helm.   Cheryl was a pioneer in tea-dying and created beautiful “aged”  projects long before anyone heard of walnut ink or distressing.   Cheryl used the following images:  047H – Eagle, 206K – Flag, 214H – We the People, and 243E – God Bless America
