4th of July Blog Hop

Welcome to our 4th of July Blog Hop! What comes to mind when you think of the 4th of July? Being with family, barbecues, picnics, and fireworks? That's what comes to my mind. But, few know the actual reason we are celebrating this holiday. We know it has something to do with America, the flag, independence. On July 4, 1776 United States of America declared it's independence from Britain. So today is America's Birthday, Happy Birthday America!!!

Today we have a lot of wonderful, talented women wanting to celebrate this holiday with you. If you've come here from Colleen's blog than you're in the right place. If you've just happened upon my page and would like to hop from the beginning, start at Pamela. Here's today's line-up in case you get lost along the way:
