A patriotic Kim K. give-away!

It's time for another Kim K. vintage-inspired giveaway!

My patriotic give-away includes a vintage apron,

 four paper lanterns

a honeycomb Patriotic party decoration

a patriotic ribbon
and a special Kim K. doll.

In order to be entered in the give-away, leave me a comment on this blog post.
Period.  That's it.  Absolutely no strings attached.

Entries close at 8:00 pm EST Wednesday, June 19th.  This is a really quick give-away because our family is  going on vacation soon.  

A winner will be picked randomly by one of my two girls (whoever happens to be eager to be my assistant). Past winners are always encouraged to enter again.

This is a give-away for the pure joy of giving back to my blogging friends!

The never-ending birthday party...

We were finally able to celebrate Josie's 7th birthday with my extended family.  
 We enjoyed lots of food and drink at this party.  Thank you for making your famous pulled-pork sandwiches, Uncle Pat!
My mother made one of her very special birthday cakes.  

She found the western-inspired figurines at Hobby Lobby.
I still can't believe my baby girl is seven!

Everyone got into the spirit of the party.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of these pictures don't end up in my parent's Christmas newsletter.
 My Western party decor was enjoyed for many many weeks, but it's time to officially say goodbye.  

Happy Trails!  Happy 7th Birthday, Josie!

Thank you...

Happy Father’s Day to a special man who is willing to play endless board games.

 Happy Father's day to a special man who is also BRAVE and patient enough to help Emma learn to navigate the world of driving.
Happy Father's day to a special man who gives Josie nightly piggy back rides to bed (even when she doesn't want to go).

Happy Father's day to a special man who recently dusted off the running shoes and helped Emma train for her first road run.

 Happy Father's day to a special man who is always busy constructing some "magical" structure in our garage.
 Happy Father's day to a special man who is always willing to hit up one more estate sale or antique store in search of the special "something" for me and the girls.
Happy Father's day to a special man who loves our children in ways I cannot love them.
 I love you, sweetie.

PS.  Happy Father's day to Grandpa Hurst and Papa Kenward too.   The girls love you to the moon and back.

Playing...

We are nearly done with the never-ending Western Josie parties happening at our house and then the tub of patriotic decor comes out.
In the mean time, I've been playing with a couple of patriotic gifts that have found their way to my swap partner Chris (Perfectly Printed).
 
A nutcup for a hat and loads of crepe paper for her dress.

A layered vintage bingo card in sorts of red, white and blue.

I'll be posting a Kim K. patriotic give-away on Tuesday on my blog.  Be sure to check back!

While I'm at work...

Emma has been sending me pictures from her cell phone.
The girls have been lounging in our treehouse

And posing for pictures.

I think they are having way too much fun without me.
