Happy 4th of July & a craft fail
My little man in his 4th of July shirt!
It took a few days, but I finished up Xavier's 4th of July shirt. I saw this Captain America shirt on I am Momma Hear Me Roar. Since X is a huge comic book fan and he still needed a new shirt for the Comic Book Convention later this month, I thought this was perfect. It should be really easy to do, but because I'm a total dork I messed up the first attempt. Take a look...
I accidentally picked up a roll of Heat & Bond instead of freezer paper. As you can see in the picture I didn't realize my mistake until I tried to peel off what I thought was the freezer paper. The thing is as I was tracing and cutting out the image I remember thinking this paper just doesn't feel right. Oh well, I had a good laugh out of it, and that more than makes up for my goofy mistake!
We also managed to squeeze in some time to make these delicious festive desserts. I saw the cookies on The T-Shirt Diaries and the strawberries on La-DEE-Da Creations. They are so good and so easy to make. The kids love them!
I hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th of July!!

I'm glad you could pass that difficultie!
It looks great and he looks very happy with his special tshirt. Well done! The strawberries look so delicious!
Wow, you really got into the spirit of the 4th! His shirt looks great, I can't believe you made it. And the treats...well put sugar on anything and like most people, I'll eat it - but these looked soooooo good. Hope you had a great 4th and can rest all today.

Weren't those strawberries so good? I enjoyed mine and made more before the holiday weekend was over. I like the white chocolate better than milk chocolate. Your Captain America shirt is so cute. Good job! And hello from Dee, La-dee-da creations!
