{Blogspiration} Red, White, Blue & You

My friend Andrea over at Living On Cloud Nine shared this fun link up she was going to be a part of and I decided to join in and do a patriotic post of my own featuring some of my blasts from the past.

{Buzzed Cherry Bombs}

These were fun for the 4th of July parade!

{Tiered Terracotta Planter}

This one goes way back to 2010 and is one my first posts, we still have it on our front porch!

{Fourth of July Shortcake}

Here's another one from 2010, look how little College Girl was!

{Patriotic Cookie Bark}

A tasty treat for your festivities.

{No-Sew Patriotic Bunting}

This was a quick and easy craft for some added patriotic swag.  #getit? #swag

{Patriotic Summer Mantel}

Here's how I used it to decorate our summer mantel.

TBB Asks - February: Relationships

They ask, we answer. Join in if you like!

1)Who is your oldest friend? How did you meet? 

I've reconnected with a few childhood friends on Facebook but I still see two of my oldest friends that I met in middle school.  

2)Tell us about your circle of support? Who are your people?

We have supportive families on both sides and some great friends too.

3)How did you meet your partner?

We met in high school at a party. We went to different high schools so it was through mutual friends.

4)How is Valentine's Day celebrated in your house?

A special meal with the family that night.  Mr. Click always bought all three of us bouquets when the girls lived at home. Now I send them little gifts and cards.  I still like to decorate for Valentine's Day.

5)What is your love language?

I think it's a tie between words of affirmation and acts of service.

6)Do you prefer receiving flowers or chocolates?

Flowers always!

7)What is the most meaningful gift you have ever given or received or have given?

That's easy, my kids!
