Fun Craft Project - Candle Cups

Thursday, December 19, 2013



I saw this fun project in one of those really expensive magazines today at B & N.  You don't need to go purchase a bunch of supplies, that is good. These are put together by reusing bottles (the kinds we all recycle), filling them with your own goodies, and attaching a votive candle holder on the top. A really cute idea to make for yourself or someone for a gift.

She used the votive candle cups that fit into a standard candle sticks, shells, or something that adds weight to the jar (so the don't easily fall over).

Brilliant idea, and you still have a little time to make some for Christmas.

I need to tell you my story about magazines. Last year...about 13 months ago, I decided to go on a "magazine diet". It is crazy how much these cost, and it really adds up. It is too bad that I cannot read these at the library. So, sometimes I flip through them at B & N. I might take a pic or two.  My results from the magazine diet are good. I have saved myself from spending much on the eye candy....and I don't feel the need to keep them (of course I don't have any to keep and clutter up my life).  The result is very good for me! I am happy, and I don't feel deprived.

A Lantern for Prairie Flower

Tuesday, March 19, 2013

I decided to use portable lighting for Prairie Flower. The auto battery for power is dead, so it was buy another or do something else. LED lights are really good, great light and long lasting with regular batteries...122 hours of light with 4 D batteries. No old, vintage lantern for this farmgirl....a new Coleman battery operated LED fits the need very well. I think that the style that resembles a vintage lantern is nice. I will have a couple small LED flashlights with me in the trailer and I am ready.  I think that I will bring along 2 or 3 jar candles to have on hand.
