I've been collecting the star stuff for my baseball all-stars too.  I like to make a big deal of it while they are sweatin' their hearts out every single  evening until the tournaments.

I am incredibly Grateful for the freedoms that we've been privileged to have in our country!!

  11. Hi DeniseMarie!
    That is such a patriotic and fun arrangement. A perfect welcome at your front door. Now my flag hanging from the arbor looks plain and boring. I'll have to step it up a little!!
    Thanks so much for linking to Wednesday Gratitude!
    I hope you're having a great week.
