decorate with frustration...

Hopefully I won't get too frustrated when it comes down to the upcoming celebration of independence. I have an ever-growing list of things I hope to accomplish, and I'm not sure if it will all happen. One of the items on the list is to make a bunch of these Frustrated Firecracker decorations to hang around the patio umbrella, near the food table, etc. You can download the printable PDF and make some too!

Now, what is the worst enemy of a firecracker? Water. (Paper doesn't like it much either!) Of course, just after I took that top picture, the worst happened. I'm not sure if it was a breeze, or my sleeve, but into the pool Frustrated Firecracker went. Now he's really not happy...
