Live with a smile

I just want to finish my Christmas cards, but now it’s time to go to bed. But first something I made today:

Yes, I tied red silk ribbons around the white candles I made in school. Nice, huh?

Wrapped handmade candles, by me.

And then I wrapped it all in see-through plastic paper with small dots on (looks like snow) and added a little tag to each package. I think they will make nice gifts for all the mothers in the family (my mother, mother-in-law, fathers mother and mothers mother. Phew!)

Oh and Baby Ruth has moved to Amber. From me she also received (in the craft swap) one of my favorite postcard collages ever:

Live with a smile, right? Or at least try to smile every now and then… I want to make more collages, soon. As soon as the Christmas cards are finished and my Craft Corner is cleaned up a bit… and… oh, December.

  1. What great candles! And I like the the collage piece – everyone should “live with a smile” :>)

  2. December indeed!
    Very nice candles, I love them. I am also a big believer in homemade gifts – giving and getting. The snowy paper and pretty tags are perfect for your candles..
    Yes – live with a smile, a positive outlook, hope and optimism. :)
