Looks great, I lake it!
Have a nice weekend, kisses:)
Oh this is just adorable and I want to join you. Love the sandwiches and the wine and maybe a little tea also. You did such a great job of copying. I like yours better. Great fun. Hugs, Marty
I think yours is cuter. Honestly. I like the red white and blue theme that you have going on there. Perfect for this weekend! Great job!
This was a lot of fun BJ, and the fact that you put your own twist with that funky blue basket was the best. Country living ought to see THAT! Thanks for joining the party. Have a happy 4th of July!~
Cute as can be, great for free concerts in the park too!
Perfect, and just as pretty too! It's so red, white and blue here, I just had to stand up and salute..very nice! :D
You did a great job! I enjoyed the challenge as well. Love your blue basket!
Looks fantastic and your blue picnic basket makes it perfect. What a fun challenge!
I'd go with you! It's lovely.
Love your version!!!!!

GREAT job! Save me a seat on the blanket with the ants, will you? I love how you copied it but still gave it your own spin.
Here's that recipe for chocolate gravy I promised you:
Chocolate Gravy
1/3 stick butter
2/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa
2 cups whole milk
Heat butter in a cast iron skillet over low heat. Mix in sugar, flour and cocoa. Slowly pour 1 cup of milk into the skillet and whisk well to remove lumps. Whisk in remaining milk, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick, being careful not to scorch. Serve hot over biscuits.
Like I said- It's a whole lot like chocolate pudding!;>) xo Diana
So cute! You did a great job and your blue basket is SUPER!!
Great copy, BJ! Love the blanket you used and great blue picnic basket!
I want to go on a picnic with you...
MaryAnn
Ok, yours look much tastier! And those red handled silverware trump all their stuff!! I like yours better! I would love photo shoots with food too!

How cute! I think yours looks better than the magazine's! Now, can I have a pickle?
I love the tailgate set-up and then I got to the biscuits post and had to stop to copy it. Stop by my blog sometime for coffee and bring your biscuits!
I'll give them a try tomorrow.

BJ, I am with you! I was so excited about this party, and I linked-up to it, too!

I hope you have a wonderful Independence Day Weekend! :D

what a great job,, this is amazing,, you did such a beautiful copy,,
Hi BJness! You're a wonderful copy cat! I love this and there is that wonderful picnic basket of yours that I copied! Hey, I wonder if Debbie would allow me to post about copying you? :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
It looks fantastic BJ,love that pretty blue basket.
Just wondering...do your neighbors watch you when you're out there photographing the back end of your car and your food and arranging things just so and then rearranging and retaking the photos, etc. etc. etc.?
Because I always took outdoor photos of the things I sold on Etsy and then one day I realized the neighbors were no longer making eye contact with me. Doesn't everyone drape their monogrammed tea towels and monogrammed baby clothes on the shrubs and fence and take pictures?
Apparently not.
Love your picnic! I'm sure Mr. Sweet does love when you feature food. It always looks amazing. I'm still dreaming of those biscuits!!!
What a clever and FUN post!!
Great job, BJ. I will have mine ready tomorrow. Happy 4th!
Great job! I am coming over from Debbie's copycat party! Love that blue basket!! and who wouldn't love a spread like that!!
I would so love to go tailgating with such a cute set-up! You did a great job with the copying!!
THat looks good BJ!

Is there room for me in the back seat?
That sounnds like fun. I do have a picnic basket. Maybe a river picnic in my son's boat.We could go to bolt castle which is just down the river a bit. We live across the the river from Canada about 10 miles from the 1000 Island bridge.
I like yours better :)
It looks great BJ, you always do these copy cat posts so well! Happy July 4th Weekend-Have Fun:@)
I love this copycat idea. I wish I had known about it because it would have been fun to do. Yours is wonderful!
I like your basket. That would be fun for a 4th of july picnic in the park lol.
