Three Celebrations!!!

Tomorrow marks the 234th celebration of Independence Day for the United States! I read this cool quote from one of our founding Fathers, John Adams (he wrote this to his wife before signing the Declaration of Independence):

The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.

He was soooo right! In America, the Fourth of July is celebrated with fireworks, barbecues, picnics, parades, and many of the things Mr. Adams stated in the letter to his wife.  I hope you will enjoy your 4th of July.

Paper Trunk wishes you a Happy Fourth of July! May God Bless America!

As we celebrate the birthday of America, we can't forget the summer birthday parties.  I had the privilege of helping make my niece's birthday invitations.

I used the Maybe Baby collection, Krafty collection, Stickels (my new favorite embellie), and some miscellaneous ribbon.

A simple design for my sweet niece's ice cream party.
