stars and stripes

Doesn't everything taste better on a stick?!?  These are some snacks I made for a party tomorrow.  I cut out watermelon stars and placed them on a bed of blueberries and also made some rice krispy treats that I decorated with red frosting and sprinkles.  I put both on some white lollipop sticks and added some patriotic ribbon to the watermelon ones. Both were easy to make and delicious for kids of all ages.  Hope you all have a wonderful long weekend filled with sweet treats.

that's a wrap

This was a birthday gift for a little girl who had a red, star, and sports themed birthday party.  We gave her a pair of red sneakers that had white stars all over them!  I wrapped the gift in some red and white striped paper and then again with some thin tissue paper.  I like the way it turned out.  The red and white star ribbon and red star box (filled with star gummy candy) completed the gift.  Hope you have a wonderful holiday with your family and friends.  We are leaving for the Cape tomorrow so I won't be posting again until the end of next week.
