4th of July Challenge

It is time to post my entry for Southern Breezes, Sat. night challenge. This week it was to make something patriotic. Remember when we were growing up our Mothers would take Queen Annes lace, and put them in colored water, and we thought she was a magician to be able to do this. Well I tried making red, white, and blue for a holiday bouquet. The blue soaked it up almost instantly. But the red still has a lot more color to absorb. While blogging last week, I came across a post where someone had taken Life Savors, covered the wrappers with patriotic papers and made firecrackers out of them. Can you believe I could not find a roll of Life Savors in any of the stores. I settled for these big and small rolls of Smarties. They worked out better, because they had the end twisted, so I did not have to make a fuse to put on it. The boxes I found on someones blog too. I am sorry I cannot give the credit to the right people. Hope everyone has a safe and Happy 4th of July.
