Hi, Creative Friends,

America’s Birthday is this Tuesday, July 4th. If you are a bit like me, holidays can stir up lots of creative energy and a big walk down memory lane. For me, the 4th of July always includes clapping on the sidelines of a festive 4th of July parade, splashing in a local watering hole, and watching fireworks bloom in the sky. American’s birthday celebration can be a holiday filled with warm, summertime memories. That’s why…

This week, let’s make July 4th wonderful and special, with these 3 creative ideas.

Many Good Characters: Movies are the backbone of American culture and there are a bunch of great films to watch together to celebrate the great American story. Here are 27 Best 4th Of July Movies from Good House Keeping. Pair one of these American tales with a big bowl of Patriotic Popcorn from Oh Sweet Basil and this recipe for Rasberry And Lemon Rosé Sparkler from Women’s Day and will make the day special.
Hot Dog! Everyone Wins: What happens when one man eats 75 hot dogs? Let’s find out America! Watch in horror and amazement as Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest continues this year with Joey Chestnut defending his champion title. To extend the fun, let’s create a watermelon eating contest right in our own backyards and call 4th-Of-July done & fun!
American Blue Splendor: Pie says America is grand so try this Blue Ribbon Blueberry Pie recipe from King Arthur Baking and watch everyone’s eyes light up like fireworks.

Drop me a message and let me know what you are working on or how will you make July 4th creative, wonderful, and special.
