Tuesday Turn About #309 Summer Holiday Fun: This week, we’ll touch on some Independence Day recipes and crafts, plus lots of summer features, too!
TUESDAY TURN ABOUT #309 SUMMER HOLIDAY FUN
Last week, we welcomed summer to the party!
Welcome to the party!
Shall we take a turn about the room?
This week, we have some wonderful recipes for your holiday celebration, plus some summer fun for everyone!
But before we ‘look around’, let’s update you and give you some tips!
Abode Adventures
The kitchen cabinets are finished being painted! PRAISE GOD!
Now, the hardware is soaking in the sink, ready to be scrubbed, primed, painted, and antiqued! Then the doors will be mounted, and we should see some pictures!
Question for you… Would you want to see the cabinets BEFORE the kitchen is completely done, or after? I have the backsplash and counters to do next.
I’m thinking I just need to bite the bullet and show you what is done so far. It’s taken SO long to get here, right?

My Wee Finds
We are getting ready to make the move to our new church location. The coffee ‘ministry’ needed a coffee maker for the move, so I purchased this Keurig K-Supreme Plus Single Serving coffee maker. I have this one at MWA, and I love it! It should do the trick for Sunday morning fellowship before church! 😉
This coffee pod holder and coffee station organizer was also purchased. Keeping the coffee maker and supplies in a compact, organized area is pretty important in our situation (we have to set-up and tear down every Sunday morning. The coffee supplies will be kept in my car during the week.)
And, just in case you missed these the last time I shared, these odor-free dish cloths are my new favorite. They really are odor resistant and made of 91% bamboo derived fiber. LOTS of colors to choose from, too! (Skip getting the white ones. They look awful once you’ve wiped up food spills. Ask me how I know this. 😉 )
Weekly Household Tip
Need some additional counter space in your kitchen?
Grab a large cutting board and place it on your stove top. This will not only give you additional counter space, but it will also give you an area to do food prep that you don’t have to worry about damaging. When not in use, simply place the cutting board on its edge, behind or on the side of the stove! Looks pretty, too!
Weekly Blogging Tip
When creating a pin for a post, be sure to include the wording “Full Instructions @ (blog name/url)”. This will help to let the reader know you can show them exactly how to do what is pictured on the pin.
Now, let’s party!
Though not a requirement at all, I would be SO blessed if you would subscribe and/or follow me either here on the blog, Facebook, Pinterest, or Instagram. Thanks!

Julie,
Our community group at my church does a monthly breakfast after the 9am mass…It is a nice gathering,,,,Yes, I would love to see your process in the Kitchen!! I use an old wood baling board on top of the stove when I need extra counter space or a large acrylic cutting board….It is a great idea!!!
My Link Ups for today’s party are # 11, 13 and 16!!
Thanks so much for hosting!! I really appreciate the time and effort that goes into it along with visiting all the links!! I hope you are enjoying your week and you are doing well…
Hugs,

Hi, Julie! Thanks for hosting this weekly party! I love getting inspired by other talented creators.
So glad to have you with us, Meredith! Hope to see you each week! Hugs!
Congrats on finishing the cabinets, Julie! I’d love to see them! Also, that cutting board is such a great idea. I don’t have a huge amount of counter space, so I love that solution.
Glad the tip helped, Pam! The progress post is on its way! Thanks for weighing in!
Julie! Thanks so much for featuring my pear tart – that’s so sweet of you! And YES – I’d love to see in-process kitchen pix!! Take care down there and thanks as always for hosting the party!

Thanks, Shelley, and you are so welcome!
I love stopping in to visit to see what’s going on in your world. We are currently at the beach enjoying our favorite family vacation. I needed some ideas for the 4th, so this is perfect!
Thanks for dropping in, Jennifer! I hope you are enjoying your vacay. Glad the ideas were helpful!
I would love to see the kitchen process…so exciting! Thank you so much for featuring my thrift store find decoupage project. Have a great week!
You are so welcome! The post is coming! 😉 Thanks for the vote, Missy!
Thanks for being a great host each week, Julie! It’s always fun to visit, share and learn! I love any and all the photos of your kitchen progress!
Thanks, Laura! I’m working on the post! Thanks for your vote!
Show us the cabinets! That’s worth celebrating! I may have to buy those dish rags. I love cotton ones (those crocheted ones of old), but man, they get funky too quick, even with changing them out daily and soaking them. Thanks for the party and tips, Julie.
Hope you like the new dish cloths! And I’m working on the post of the progress in the kitchen now. Thanks for ‘voting’, Rita!
