Human beings are funny. They long to be with the person they love but refuse to admit openly. Some are afraid to show even the slightest sign of affection because of fear. Fear that their feelings may not be recognized, or even worst, returned. But one thing about human beings that puzzles me the most is their conscious effort to be connected with the object of their affection even if it kills them slowly within.

ps-imadethis: It’s the Fourth of July and to me that means trips to the beach, backyard entertaining and blasts of color! A truly crafty holiday host loves to impress with every last detail, and the cool curves of windswept driftwood are the perfect ingredient for bringing a bit of seaside style to your Independence Day fete. Take inspiration from nature and art to create a centerpiece that’s equal parts organic and elegant…with a modern pop of neon!   To create: gather driftwood from the beach, or perhaps find at your local craft or flower supply store .  Double knot brightly colored string to an area of the driftwood and wrap tightly.  Continue with your other colors of string and create a color block pattern in sporadic areas of the driftwood.  After  wrapping, double knot, snip with scissors, and use a dab of glue to seal.  To create an over-the-top tabletop candelabra, use strong wood glue to bond together, holding in place till dry.  You may even want to use a paper tape to hold together, which will act like a vice to hold during the dry time.  Lastly, attach mini tea lights onto the wood using super glue. Declare your independence with a DIY that will light up your 4th of July!
