Patriotic Piggies


Wishing you a great 4th of July from Red Couch Recipes.

Talley's cute little piggies!

My daughter and six of the girls her age came to my home for Activity Days (LDS Church program for girls 8-11 years) and we talked about being a good citizen and the reason we celebrate 4th of July.  I painted all of their toes in patriotic colors and applied the little flower stickers and sealed them with clear fingernail polish.  As you can see from the top picture, I got in the mood for the 4th of July and painted my piggies too.

From my Piggies to yours, have a great 4th!

Such lovely piggies! I love the little flowers and such. Mine need a good overhaul right at the moment. Maybe we will have to paint each piggy different colors too!

Oh dear, how in the world did I do that? How could I not see that I had already left a comment. I guess I just had a senior moment.

P.S. I don't know what size of wire I used for the little canning jar lights! Used what I had and it is a fine wire!
