Pink&Green Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Okay, I am so sorry for being tardy for the pink&green party! Forgive me, Trish!

(Nope, I don't even watch the NY housewives!)

I have no good excuse, except that I just plain refused to give up on Polyvore once I'd started it for Wishful Wednesday. & quite frankly, I do not need to try to use it for this blog until I get a better grasp of it! I want so badly to have the eye of a graphic designer, but I just don't. & I get quite frustrated with myself when I can't make my visions happen the way I want them to!

So then I decided to stick to my rather difficult task of making this week's Pink&Green Thursday post all about stars&stripes. Time-consuming to be sure...

I am afraid it might be a touch unAmerican to call it pink&green Americana...since Americana is all about the

red,

white,

& blue!

However, there is no reason why your everyday stars&stripes can't be pink&green. & there is no reason not to focus on those patriotic symbols today - even if the colors are not patriotic.

(It's only July 1st...I don't think I run the risk of ruining holiday tradition until at least July 3rd!)
