 Give your old Lantern a new look for your Memorial Day Celebration. This was an old rusty lantern that I gave new life to with an Americana Theme for Memorial Day and can be used as well for 4th of July.

| Root Beer Popsicles

The unofficial kick off of summer - Memorial Day - will be here soon. Besides taking some time to remember all those who gave their lives in the cause of keeping our country free - which we all should do - Memorial Day calls for a picnic or backyard barbeque.

| Make Your Own Picnic Blanket for Less
|
|
I saw a picnic blanket at Walmart for $14.96. After carefully examining this blanket I have decided that it can be made for a lot less. Take a shower curtain liner (bought at DollarTree for $1) and an old but usable blanket and sew the liner to the blanket, add shoe string ties and a handle and WOW! a picnic blanket that has just cost maybe $3 total compared to the $15 at WalMart.

| Yellow Memorial Flowers
|
 I planted these beautiful yellow flowers in 1999 when I got the news that my brother-in-law had cancer and was not going to survive. Every year when they bloom, I reflect back on the ones I have lost in my life. I added the American Flag last year when my son-in-law left for Iraq. Thankfully, my son-in-law is on his way home this week.

| Planting a Memorial Garden
|
 Losing a loved one is never easy. For those of us left behind, creating a living tribute in the form of a memorial garden offers us a place to grieve, reflect, and pay homage to our loved one's memory.

| Preventing Silk Flowers from Fading in the Sun
|
|
The silk flowers I place on grave sites seem to fade very fast in the sun. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make the colors stay brighter longer?

| Protecting Silk Flower Arrangements for Gravesites
|
 With Memorial Day soon approaching, I wanted to share this tip for silk flower arrangements. Spray with a couple coats of WD-40 to help repel water from rain and sprinklers, and to protect silk flowers' colors from fading due to sunlight. After spraying with WD-40, the silk flowers or greenery will stay beautiful and vibrant for a longer period of time while placed near your loved one's grave.

| Table Linens for Fourth of July Parties
|
|
Instead of buying throwaway, light plastic tablecloths, spend a few dollars more and get a flannel-back table cloth (about $5) for seasonal parties. I got 3 of them for a 4th of July party a few years ago and bring them out every year for Memorial Day and the 4th of July.
