4th of July Outfit          From almost the beginning of June, I have been stressing about what I am going to wear for the fourth of July. It has to be kinda cool because it is in July, but it also has to be patriotic. I finally found a cute shirt I really like from Old Navy   in the Juniors section. It is cute, patriot, and modest.

How to Make a 3D Saint Patrick's Day Card     This 3D card is super easy to make. All you need is paper, glue, scissors, and markers or colored pencils. First, you want to make the card. To do that just fold a piece of paper in half. Then write on the outside and inside.      Then on a separate piece of paper draw a pot of gold. Then make sure that you draw a little flap on the bottom. Cut out the pot of gold with the flap.  Then fold it in half. Unfold the pot and cut the flap directly on the fold. Next, fold the flap under the pot. Lastly, glue the pot on the inside of the card. Make sure the fold on the pot of gold lines up with the fold on the card. When you glue the pot in the card try to make it go on a diagonal. Then you are done! Give the card to someone or keep it for yourself. Hope you enjoy!!
