Below, is from MarthaStewart.com. She gives the instructions on her website under 'Holidays' if I remember right. I'm not sure why, but ever since I can remember I have loved anything patriotic, nautical, or red, white and blue. I love it all!!! The next two photos came from Jenny B. Harris, of 'Allsorts'.
Actually about that PHOTO! Sara was taking candid photos one night while the whole Fam was at Chick-fil-A. I decided to use it because it made me look younger. When my married daughter ,Emily, saw it she said ever so sweetly (really), "Ah Mom, you're not wearing any make-up in that photo." I said, "Yeah, but it makes me look younger than I am." I chose younger with no make-up as opposed to older (with) make-up. Go figure.
