Next Sunday is May 5, Cinco de Mayo
Let’s celebrate with cactus and a Fry-Tot-To!
Come join me with a cactus themed table on the patio
I have a sudden thing for all things cactus
They’re fun to paint with just a little practice
The table is full of faux cacti and small plates that feature
4 different festive kooky cacti creatures!
Some cacti have jewelry or a sporty hat
Some carry purses
How silly is that!!
There is a small dish for salsa on each plate stack
A trio of bowls ready to be filled with snacks
Do you see the sombreros over there by the grill
I want guests to wear them,
do you think they will?
Sombreros are handy for serving up chips
Sombrero cookies can be made in a zip!
This faux cactus is a quick fun craft,
The cactus is painted with acrylic in several shades of green
Painted white pricks and glued orange paper flowers
The pot was painted with shades of terra cotta
“Dirt” was added with dabs of browns
What is your favorite Mexican dish?
