Already thinking of Fourth of July

**Update: Hello to all of my visitors from Pinterest! Stop by my new blog at www.dazelikethis.com!**

Since I spend most of my downtime stuck in the world of Pinterest I am already trying to figure out what I will bring to the 4th of July BBQ I will attend this year. Desserts are, of course, the most fun to play with. There are so many fun ideas and I want to eat them all. Now to decide what I can actually accomplish. Here are a few of my top choices:

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Star Cookies

More Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Strawberry Kabobs - I think I could do these with the white and blue chocolate

Cake Pops

Chocolate Covered Pretzels

Brownie Fruit Pizza

Easter Crafts

I have never been a big fan of most Easter crafts, they are full of pastels and bunnies, neither of which often find themselves in my products. So I've been on a mission to find some modern crafts and decor that would actually be found in my house or that I would be happy to gift to someone. These are all fun crafts that would be easy to customize to your decor and your tastes. Here are a few selections that I've come across, let me know your thoughts or if you've found some of your own.
