T Stands for busy

 Hi Everyone!

I know I am coming in early for the T-Party but it's now or never for this week. Busy isn't even the word for my day. LOL

Bleubeard and Elizabeth host every week.

Come see what all the fun is about.

When I was a kid my Nanny and Mom would gather us 6 kids (I'm the oldest) together to create all kinds of art. However, at Christmas we would make, "Magic Bottles." Both my Nan and Mom were into making Magic. I will tell you about the Magic Box my Nan had, but at another time.

So each of us older kids would get an old bottle with a cork top. We filled it with water then dropped in some water color paint, any color we wanted. It was already magic watching the colors mix with the water. Since we were pretty young Nan then would send us to the living room for ONE piece of hard Christmas candy. When we returned to the kitchen Nam and Mom would be moving their hands over the colored water bottles saying " Abracadabra colors free make the motion show to thee." Then we could put on the tops and shake the bottles. 

We truly believed that Nan and Mom were magical. (Note; I had to phone my brother to ask them what the spell was. We had a great laugh.)

So what was this magic?

I had actually forgotten about this until I saw something similar on line.  I had to bring back the memory. Here it is.

And the magic to make this happen is a bit of mica.

Now, I need to get into the kitchen to make some cookie magic for my neighbors. Each year we trade off goodies.

My drink today is coffee and biscotti. Yes, I started drinking "real" coffee again. The instant just wasn't doing it for me. LOL.

That is it for now. I hope your day is the best ever.
