6th picture folder meme.

Belle didn't actually tag anyone for this one, she said You, you, and YOU, so I figured she meant me, so here's the rules and my 6th picture folder picture.

1. Go to your Picture Folder on your computer or wherever you store your pictures.
2. Go to the 6th Folder and then pick the 6th Picture.
3. Post it on your blog and tell the story that goes with the picture.
4. Tag 5 other glorious people to do the same thing and leave a comment on their blog telling them about it.

Here's mine:

These roses are 7 years old, I know, they look like it too...LoL
They were given to me by an ex-boyfriend, and they were so pretty, that when they started to die, I couldn't stand the thought of losing them forever, so I saved them.
I went out and bought a can of Aquanet, and then hung the roses, the whole bouquet, upside down, and once a day every day for a week, I sprayed them with the Aquanet.
As they died, the hairspray kept them from falling apart, no petals fell, no leaves, the babies breath didn't fall apart either.
They are still in pretty good shape, I dust them off once a month with my blow dryer, and the petals and leaves still don't fall off.
That's probably because I soaked every single part of each flower with the hairspray, they are stiff, so nope, they aren't budging.

I kinda think they are even prettier all dead than when they were fresh.

And like Belle, I'm not specifically tagging anyone, so like she said and I'm quoting, "I'm tagging you, you, you, you, and you. Yeah, YOU! And be sure to let me know if you did it!"

Hey Kat, did your meme and glad I did...finally got a cute pic on my blog...lol.

I played the meme game! :-)

Thanks for playing along! I love the pic of the roses....I have tried to keep all the roses I've ever gotten, and used to have bunches of dried ones. They've been disappearing here and there over the years, but I guess that is to be expected with multiple moves and my scatterbrain tendencies!

I used to dry all of my flowers like this but after moving three times they did get a little roughed up and this last time I moved I ended up trashing a lot of stuff that I just didn't feel like packing up and my flowers went with all of that. I do still have a few pressed ones though.

I came across your blog through Blog Catalog and found myself enjoying many of your posts. Interesting blog and I will make it a point to stop back.

Thanks,
