We hope you enjoy all of these wonderful ideas. Tune in each day starting with Monday, May 12 and ending on Saturday, May 17. We have great prizes up for grabs throughout the week so you will not want to miss out on any of the days! Follow #KickOffToSummerWeek2014 on Twitter to keep up to date with all of our spectacular ideas and giveaways!
Today, I made a BBQ Invitation printable that you can use and reuse for all of your summer barbecues and parties! I often find that the invitation is at the end of to do lists for parties. You get everything together and organized, the date approaches, and then you realize you have nothing ready for the invite and they needed to get mailed yesterday. I get orders all the time like this, and I love making it easy for people. I did two sizes- a 5×7 and a 4×6. Just add your own text and you are ready to go! I will be pulling this freebie from the blog and putting in my shop by the end of the month so grab it now.
