Red, White and Blue on the Back Porch

Hi everyone! 

Can't believe it is already June! Where did May go?

 So much going on around here! Things have been really busy lately. 

I haven't had any time to post on my blog or even visit all my favorite blogs like I usually do, but, today, I made time to visit everybody and see what you guys have been up to and I have finally been able to take a little time to update 

my back porch for summer time.

I normally decorate our front porch for the summer with these colors,

but this year, I am doing things a little different.

The best part is that I used everything I already had at home from

 previous years, so I did not have to spend any extra money on this project.

Today, I want to share a little red, white and blue on our back porch.

On the eating area, I added some pillows that I made a while back, red table mats, 

a few flowers for our centerpiece, candles for a little candlelight at night and a star and stripes ribbon.

 I bought everything at the Dollar Tree last year.

I also added a little decor on the bench and on both of our small side tables.

 This birdhouse was my first stencil project ever, many years ago.

It is still hanging in there! LOL

 And this is the other table and chairs opposite form the bench.

 Very simple, but at least it gave the porch a little color.

Weather permitting, we will be enjoying our outdoor space as much as

 possible this summer. 

I am still working on our upstairs porch, organizing my new craft room, planting more flowers on our garden and 
preparing for an upcoming trip overseas.

I am very, very tired! LOL

Hope you guys are having a great week!
