Every Day Can Be a Celebration!

I know I write a lot about the weird holidays we celebrate...so this is YOUR chance to celebrate with us! When I was in super-volunteer mode at Ft. Lewis, I taught a class at Women's Conference on "Holiday Fun Throughout the Year". We had a LOT of fun in that class!! I have also taught it in many different wards since then for homemakings. (The other class I taught at WC was Birthday Parties from A to Z--which was a BLAST also!) Anyways...I am rambling because I am tired *smile* so here is the list of just a FEW of the holidays you can celebrate in July: (Oh...and if you DO find something fun to do--let me know--we may steal YOUR ideas next year!)
