When I saw the theme, I knew one thing – the photo you will have chosen will be completely unexpected, and I was right! 🙂 So bright and perfectly arranged like…little soldiers. The answer to what it was came to me rather easily, using the “connection” of Paula&fire… 🙂
Here’ s my arrangement for this Thursday: https://esengasvoice.wordpress.com/2015/01/29/thursdays-special-arranged/

ha! well I used to have a bags of those ear plugs and so I guess one would have to open up each little pack of two and line them up – (a lot of work) and the conctre I was thinking of – well I will take a picture later this week to show you – it is different – but they are these garden edging things they sell over hear – and my neighbor has them around her mailbox. and again, those was just my first thoughts when I saw it in the reader – 🙂
