Viva Fiesta!

Howdy or Hola! Fiesta (festival) is getting on it's way here in SA. Fiesta began in the late 1800s with a parade celebrating the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto. Fiesta is full of fun fun fun during a span of 11 days...living here in SA I've always wanted to make a Fiesta wreath. There are many historic areas around town that put out their fiesta wreaths and the colors just bring a smile to my face. For more information Fiesta This leads me to this past weekend.
