"Make-It Monday" - Dandelion Wishes

Hello everyone!  How was your 4th of July weekend?  Mine was pretty great!  The best part was the 5th.  All my kids, except for one and her husband, were home for Sunday night dinner!  What a blessing that was for this moms heart! We had brisket, potato salad, calico beans and cantaloupe. We also had homemade pie dough cookies (DELICIOUS!) and homemade chocolate ice cream (OH MY!)...played cornhole and sat around visiting.  I loved every minute of it!

Well...it's Monday and that means it's time for a "Make-It Monday" Tutorial!  Enjoy!!
