Who's excited for this weekend? I am! I am! Fourth of July is such a fun weekend of outdoor fun, patriotic enthusiasm, BBQs, and fireworks! Here are some great ideas from around the web for jazzing up your Independence Day celebrations!

Hostess With The Mostess has a fabulous craft that would turn any drink you serve over the weekend into a patriotic cocktail! These sparkly red, white & blue stirrers are so fun and this how to makes them look like a snap!

And if you're looking for a tasty beverage to dunk those sparkly stirrers in, MartieKnows has you covered! This strawberry basil lemonade would be the ultimate in summer refreshment!

ByStephanieFlynn has a fabulous Fourth of July craft. It's a fabulous painted wooden flag. And while this is great for the Fourth, the antique accents and classic feel will make this piece a decor staple all year long!

And last, but certainly not least, we have TidyMom's Red, White, & Blue Candy Apples. This idea is so creative. I never would have thought of it, but it makes perfect sense! It just about as American as apple pie!

Have a great Fourth of July!
