a little Americana...

Happy Memorial Day!!!! So happy with the way that this little wreath turned out that I made last night just in time for Memorial Day. I plan on leaving the wreath up most of the summer. Close up of the pinwheel

Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day, y'all! Today is a day to celebrate all of those men and women in our country who have sacrificed their lives in order for us to have a better life. We at Two Junk Chix would like to say THANK YOU! Here are a few pictures of how I have brought a little patriotic red, white, and blue into my home.
A white washed wooden star plaque that I attached to an iron stand

Love stars and stripes! Found this cute vintage flag flashcard from 1951

Some fun red, white, and blue pinwheels in a vintage sundae glass filled with sugar

I decided to put red, white, and blue flowers in my urns on the front porch this year, too

God Bless America!!!

baseball and the birds

We have been super busy in my house too. Still busy with Baseball. If we haven't had a game we have had practice. The days we haven't had anything baseball, I have had to play catch up around the house.

But Baseball is sadly coming to a close for us this season. Last night was the last regular game before playoffs begin. On a happy note for Michael, he got the game ball from Monday night's game. He had great play from the outfield and was recognized for it with the game ball. And speaking of nesting....... I love this birdhouse. It is old and in my backyard. It has been there for many years and was put there by Roman and Tia's great Aunt and Uncle Thompson many years ago. Every spring there is a bird family that makes it their home. I love listening to the baby birds and watching them grow. It makes me happy.
A did a scrapbook page about it.

Basic Grey papers and stickers, Bazzill cardstock and jillybean journaling cards.

Enjoy!!!!

Nesting...

Hi y'all. Sorry I've been away for a while. Just been so busy with Crimson Clover and so many changes in my life. With the kids almost out of school, I've been busy nesting around the house.....no, baby #6 isn't here. Just spending time out in this beautiful weather, enjoying my kids, and spending time with friends. Speaking of friends, we have had a lot of nature friends around our house this year. It's our 4th summer here in Chicagoland and this is the first year we've had squirrels and bunnies and birds in abundance. I wanted to share with you this gorgeous robin's nest in the tree in our front yard. The kids and I have had so much fun watching the mama bird take care of these beautiful and fragile eggs. We can't wait until they hatch!!

Happy Nesting!

God Bless America

With Memorial Day right around the corner, just thought I'd add a few touches of red, white, and blue to my entryway. I love the patriotic garland that my sweet friend, Vicki made for me during our craft night last week. It's just the right mix of neutral and color for me. Thanks, Vicki!

How cute is this 1951 flashcard of the American Flag?!

God Bless America!!!
