Hello Friends! Hope you had a good weekend. I look forward to this weekend every year because I love the Fourth of July Parade in Prattville. It makes me feel like things are right with the world - it is a bit old fashioned, a bit innocent, a bit quirky (actually a whole lot quirky), and a lot of fun. Anyone can be in the parade as long as you remotely look patriotic. My kids used to ride their bikes in the parade when they were younger. I thought I would share a few pictures. The mayor and City Council had one of the first floats (by the way all the floats and cars throw candy, necklaces, and toys so the people watching are all paying close attention so they can catch the good stuff). Notice how the floats are really just trailers with a few decorations. This was one of my favorites - it was the sanitation department and they had all their candy in a toilet on the top of the truck - lol! I am pretty sure it was tootsie rolls - lol again! The local judge - isn't she pretty?
Just fabulous card. I love the stitching and the fence/garden background is outstanding. Have a nice day.

Nancy, this is a darling card. Loved the stitched bee-trail, and the border stitching on the background. Which, BTW, is just fabulous. Loved the woodgrain effect with all the vines & leaves. Well done on this nifty design. So cute. TFS & happy wkend.
