Hello all.  I can definitely tell that school is out because I'm hanging with my kids so don't have a lot of time to post on my blog.  I do have some really great things to post in the future so keep checking back.  Today we are going to make a centerpiece for your Fourth of July barbeque. Even a beginner can make this arrangement. It is so easy to make and the end result is very impressive!

When I was a little girl, my family and I spent the three summer months camping.  My dad was the Camp Director for the Boy Scouts of America.  He was in charge of the camp and because he was gone so long, he brought his family along...this story has a point I promise.  While we were there, my mom had to think of things to entertain her little girls.  One of the things we loved to do was to go on hikes (aka nature walks) and pick wildflowers.  We would bring the vibrant flowers back to the cabin and dry them with Flower Dri.   It was a powdery mixture we covered our flowers with so they could "dry".  After 3-4 weeks we un-covered the flowers and arranged the now dried flowers in little vases.    I can't find Flower Dri anymore...I'm guessing it isn't made any more. Long story short, I found this recipe and thought I'd give it a try.  It is made of two ingredients I always have in my home.  Borax and Cornmeal.
