Independence Day Pinspiration

Happy Independence Day!

In honor of the Fourth of July, I thought I'd just do a bit of a "Wordless Wednesday" and share with you some of latest patriotic pins. Just in case you need some ideas for celebrating today.

As for myself, I'll be having a quiet day at home and maybe watch some fireworks on TV since due to a drought, fireworks are banned in our area.

Doctor Who's Day - Most Annoying Character

Today's Doctor Who's Day topic is most annoying character. Instead of agonizing over this, I'm going to go with my initial thought.

Mickey Smith

Mickey was Rose's boyfriend when she met the Doctor way back in the first season. I found him very annoying from the beginning. He was whiny and exceedingly jealous of the time Rose spent with the Doctor. Whenever they did take Mickey along, he didn't prove to be very useful.

I hated when Mickey got involved on the adventures and I always wondered why Rose kept him around. Unfortunately, he did keep popping up and eventually did start to redeem himself and become useful. For me however, it felt very out of character for Mickey and I thought it was just a cheap trick used by the writers to make the audience like a very poor character.

Who do you think is the most annoying character on Doctor Who?

My kitting skills are very basic and basically only amount to very boring scarves, but I love this blanket. I may have to con my sister-in-law into either making this for me or teaching me how to make it myself.

I adore this swimsuit. The polka dots are adorable and the sash is cute. I don't really have a need or desire to wear a swimsuit, but I still love it.

I've been craving raspberries lately and finally bought some at the store yesterday. Now I feel like baking something with them and I think these mini muffins might be it. They would also be good for breaking in my new mini muffin pan.

Tiny Prints Summer Party Invitations and Giveaway

One of my favorite things about summer is it is such a great time to have events and parties. Some of my favorite summer memories involve cookouts on my dad's deck surrounded by family. My dad would grill tasty burgers, we'd chat and catch up, and then work off all that good food with some cutthroat games of cornhole.

Someday, I hope to own a house with a backyard where we can host similar get-togethers with our families and friends. Until then, I use my Pinterest boards to save recipes for future cookouts, get decor and gardening ideas for that dream backyard, and of course, save inspiration for party invitations.

One of my favorite sources of summer party invitations is Tiny Prints. They have party invitations for any kind of party you could plan. I'm the first to admit, that while I can imagine great things in my head, actually executing them, is another story. My craftiness is all in my head, sadly.

Luckily, with Tiny Prints, I don't have to be crafty because they do all the work for me. Their invitations are cute and colorful and they let me personalize it all with my details. One of my favorite things about Tiny Prints invitations is that they even include a design on the back on many of their invitations.

Here are just a few of my favorite summer party invitations from Tiny Prints -
