Bless the U. S. Eh (and a Freebie)

Ok that was my being clever meshing the 4th and Canada Day :)  I'm loving our Patriotic Pin Party week!

Haven't we had some fantastic pins? They've posted just about all the pins on my 4th board and I don't want to duplicate. The only thing I will duplicate is Subway Art.

I have a soft spot for Subway Art because that was 'my thing' when I first started blogging.

Here are some patriotic subway art:

There's more but I'll stop lol. I've got other 4th of July Pins here.

I was inspired and created my own. I made 4th of July subway art with different backgrounds and also a Canada Day subway art with different background choices.

I've posted these as freebies on my TN store. Click the picture to get them :)

Comes with this, plain, and 2 other backgrounds.

This is the plain, it also comes in two other background colors.

I Pledge Allegience to the Flag...

Hi there everyone. I am Heidi from My (Not So) Elementary Life. I am stopping by to share some of my Patriotic pins with you, just in time for the 4th of July. Just click on the picture to take you to the source.

This is a simple and cute treat to take to any patriotic picnic. The kids will love them.

 

I LOVE this sign. There is a free download at the link. I plan to get it printed and put in a frame for on my mantle. 

I am loving the look of banners right now. I think this one is really cute.

 

Isn't this just adorable. You can do this with your students for different patriotic holiday's or your own children. This is a must do when I have my own babies :) (This one I do not have the actual link to, but you can get the idea from just looking at the picture.)

And lastly...another banner that I love. It is simple yet can add a touch of flair to any space. I actually like this one so much that I decided to create my own version of it to hang on my mantle.

I LOVE how it turned out and it was sooo easy. (My patriotic mantle decor is a work in progress. I will be adding more to it later. I plan to add the Pledge of Allegiance print from above and maybe some flags and flowers.)

I hope everyone has a safe holiday. For more patriotic pins, check out my Patriotic Ideas board on Pinterest by clicking on the picture below. 

Watermelon, Sparklers, and Fireworks

The 4th of July is right around the corner.  Are you doing anything special?  I have some ideas for a celebration or for you and your family to do at home.

My favorite pin I have come across is this sparkler shield.  I know last year my lil man was afraid of sparklers and getting burned.  This will be perfect for him this year so he can have some fun.
