Happy WOYWW, dear friends! This week we are celebrating Independence Day in the United States! The 4th of July has always been one of my favorite holidays. Like most Americans, I not only spend the day celebrating my many freedoms, but I spend it with barbecuing with family and friends, and end the day with an eye-popping display of fireworks!
Last week’s fire was followed by days of triple digits and non-stop activity, so I haven’t had time to make anything as Americana as I had hoped. However, I did manage to eek out a red, white and blue themed birthday card in honor of the day!
Enjoy your week, dear friends. Stop by and see my kittens at play. Have a safe and happy holiday, wherever you are!

great card! happy Independence Day! having just come from Berlin, with its troubled history, i am especially grateful that i have lived in freedom all my life. i’m glad you and your home and cats were safe during the fire. when i was young, there was a fire near our house and it was scary! i put some clothes and my teddy bear in a blanket, ready to bring, just in case. fortunately, the firemen were also able to contain the fire then.
I hope you have a fantastic day with all your friends and family such a special day for you all. Do love the little birthday card great pocket. Your cats are just too cute
Happy WOYWW today I hope the rest of the week is a good one for you
