DIY Vintage Book Page Pinwheel

By 6 Comments

Happy Thursday everyone!  It’s a great week full of Summer temps and activities.  I had a blast sharing my DIY Vintage Book Page Pinwheel with the grandkiddos when they were here last week.  They are SO easy to make AND they REALLY work!

You first saw the DIY Vintage Book Page Pinwheels a few days ago with my Easy July 4th Party Buffet.  All this week is the Red, White, and Blue Inspiration Blog Tour with 16 of the most creative people I know.  I hope you have been following along for all the 4 of July ideas you could ever want. Look here for all the details.

Red White and Blue Inspiration

When I showed you my July 4th Party Buffet, I told you I would show you how to make your own DIY Vintage Book Page Pinwheel.  It’s easy peasy and looks festive on any Summer table.

4th of July Book Page Wreath

By 29 Comments

My blog is back up and I am able to share my 4th of July Book Page Wreath.  I am beyond thrilled to be with you here today, and cross my fingers that this will be the case from now on.

Hubby and I have been keeping busy, organizing our home, going to the thrift store to drop things off, and watching 4 of our oldest grandkiddos.  We have gone swimming, to the movies, visited Ethel M Chocolate Factory, rode the zipline, watched airplanes land and takeoff at the airport, eaten more candy and pizza than I could ever imagine, went to the water park, got free doughnuts from Krispy Kreme (Did you know it was National Doughnut Day?)  And now we are heading out to the pool again.  Whew!  It has been a blast!  And well-worth all the candy and pizza (insert huge smile)

NOW, for this year’s 4th of July Book Page Wreath…

Isn’t she lovely??  You KNOW how much I like using vintage book pages for crafts.  This was no exception.

I am also excited to spend Easter with some of our sweet grand kiddos.

If you know me, you know I like vintage and book pages, right?  Well, I have the ideal book page bird nest for your Easter table or for anytime of year.  This is MY version of a DIY Book Page Bird Nest. DIY Book Page Bird Nest #whatmeeganmakes
