Fab Finds for the Fourth #3

Daily Inspiration

Appreciation immediately connects you to Source Energy, the energy that creates worlds. If you’re feeling down, depressed, frustrated, find something to appreciate & your energy will shift. Start by saying, “It’s wonderful that ________.” Find something in your life experience that you feel is wonderful. Then do it again. By the 3rd time you find something wonderful, you’re in a state of appreciation.

Welcome to the final Fab Finds party! It has been so much fun seeing all the great red, white & blue projects. I can’t wait to see what you’ve been up to this week.

And what’s a party without great food? Cooking & baking are not high on my accomplishment list, so I often rely upon the tried-and-true cookbooks. I still have, and use,  the Betty Crocker cookbook my mother gave me for high school graduation, many, many years ago.

Notice how I chose about the simplest recipes out there? But a sprinkle here, some berries there, and they make a great display. My kind of baking!

Now it’s your turn to share.

  • Anything red, white and blue is welcome.
  • Please link to the actual post URL, not your blog, so we can read about your project.
  • Please add my button to your sidebar or your post, even if the post is older.
  • Lastly, why not visit the link before & after you and leave a comment. Let’s all get into the party mood!

  5. Hi Colleen, Thanks for the invite. I make that same strawberry and blueberry cake every fourth of July. My teenage girls love to help with that one. I am grabbing your button and following your blog. I enjoy it.
