Happy Memorial Day on You Are the Star
Happy Memorial Day on You Are the Star
I hope you are having a wonderful Memorial Day. We are having family and friends over for a cookout.
I have been cooking all weekend. We had family over for lunch yesterday - so that meant lunch food and dessert.
I made dessert, potato salad, deviled eggs, fruit salad and appetizers for today. I need a rest. At least hubby will be cooking the hamburgers and hot dogs.
Enjoy your day!

Decorating with Flowers on Thursday Favorite Things
Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party
Happy Thursday friends. It has been a little crazy here. My Louie, our dachshund, is not feeling well and has spent yesterday at the vets and another day today. They have been giving him IVs and meds. We are hoping that by Thursday evening he will be on his way to recovery. I pray.
It is so hard when they are in pain and you can't help them.
I also want to apologize for not returning comments.
Have a wonderful Memorial Weekend!

Cork Patriotic Tree Garland
Cork Patriotic Tree Garland
I saw some painted corks on Etsy and thought this would be a great way to decorate my tree on the lanai. I had lots of corks, so it was the perfect thing.
How to make this garland. I gathered up my corks. I used all "natural" ones. The ones that are waxy don't work well. I taped off one end and painted it blue.
Once the paint was dry, I peeled off the blue painters tape. For the most part it was good. I would have to do some touch ups.
So I got out a small paint brush and just touched up the blue. I found it worked really well, just to hand paint it. When I made a few more corks, that's what I did. These were much better.
Next, I got a thin piece of wire and made a hook on one end. I looped a piece of twine over it and secured it. I used this to go through the cork and I could pull the twine through it as well.
Originally, I was going to paint the corks red, white and blue. the centers were to be white, but after painting the red and blue ends, I liked it that way and didn't add the white.
These corks will stay until after labor day. I even have lights on this tree. You can see that it is actually in a Christmas tree stand.
