Confessional: I’ve never really enjoyed lighting off fireworks. Watching them: beautiful, love it. Sitting in the driveway with pretzels and a drink, watching my nephew light off fountain after swirling flower after fountain: probably my favorite thing to do on the 4th. But, being the cautious, worry-wart kid I was [and maybe still am] I’d rather stay back and enjoy the fireworks, then have the lighter in my hand.
My favorite fireworks: sparklers & smoke balls. Smoke balls- are you kidding me?…those are the most beautiful colors of smoke I have ever laid my eyes upon! 
And sparklers – so pretty… and I can write my name in smoke!
Today, I am inspired by sparklers. And what good sorority girl & crafter doesn’t love a little sparkle?! Guilty – love me some glitter!
