    Paper Lantern

    These paper lanterns are quick crafts that can easily spice up any room for a 4th of July party. You just need scissors and paper for a basic lantern, and then you can decorate it to your stylin’ desires!

  • craft2.jpg

    Wreath

    This patriotic wreath will show your pride for your country in a simple and sweet way. Plus, it’s super easy to make! Just wrap colored yarn around a Styrofoam or straw wreath and add star cutouts.

    Patch Pocket Shorts

    Adding a little sizzle to your favorite shorts is super easy, but we particularly dig this Fourth of July take. Grab a worn out pair and some festive fabric and start stitching. Simply trace the shape of the pocket on your fabric and get sewin’, sweetie. Not stich happy? Grab fabric paint, instead.

    Tin Can Windsocks

    Festive windsocks are fun to make and they’re the perfect decoration for outside – especially when the wind blows them straight out like Old Glory. All you need are a few cans, paint, streamers and twine.

One time we couldnt have fireworks for the fourth cause of fires. Instead they did them in october and we could hear them but not see them! We were at a Halloween party too!

I made stars and stripes shirts with fabric paint yesterday, except I decorated the front, not the back pockets.

So, I went to my really close friends house a couple days ago and I wasn't expecting my period. We slept in the same bed because she didn't have an air mattress I could use. I got my period while I was sleeping in her bed and I left a red blotch on her sheets that went all the way through to the mattress... I don't know how to tell her, I think she jjuust ignored it because we are still talking but I feel bad, please help!
Thanks!

 

Hey cutie!

If it's been awhile since the incident, it's not a big deal anymore. Otherwise, you could jokingly bring it up..."hey wait when I got home from your house I noticed I got my period through my PJ shorts! Not sure if it got on your bed...so embarrassing haha!!!" If she's your really close friend, she won't care! I'm sure she's had plenty of embarrassing moments, and more to come! It's part of life and since you two are girl BFFs, don't fret! All is good.
