Hi, Christine ~ I love the 4th of July, and I love this collection! So many cute and inspiring projects. I especially love your US map! So unique and fun! I'm in the process of finishing up my decorations for this year, and I'm definitely going to incorporate a couple of these projects. Thanks so much for sharing!

I do love that candle log!! It is too cute!! When you do a round up do you talk to each blogger first for permission to use their photo for the round up?? I thought about doing one but I wasn't sure about the ethics of it and I didn't want to make anyone mad.

Hey Sheena! I love that candle log too! This round-up was done in partnership with Hometalk, and I'm pretty sure that's part of the deal when you post on their site (you give permission for them to share). I've never done a round-up solo, but I *think* what you said is technically what you're supposed to do....reach out to each blogger and ask if it's okay to use a photo and state you'll provide a link back with proper credit ascribed. I, however, know that a lot of bloggers don't actually do that....they just take a photo and then link back. I've had a bunch of my posts included in round-ups that way. It really doesn't bother me as long as they don't edit the photo and give clear and proper credit. It's always nice to be asked though. :)
