I really should be snoozing now but tonight I really wanted to make something for a friend. I felt she might need a little treat/break. My break in a basket included a candle, card/teabag holder and some home baked brownies. As all of you know, I love creating things with a handmade touch and I especially love giving them away to people as a way to bless and encourage them.
I used the colours rich razzleberry and old olive and the one of a kind stamp set to tie it all together. (I think I forgot about that one of a kind stamp set until I saw it on the retiring list and then remembered how much I loved that big flower) Make sure you click on the image if you want to see the project in more detail.
If you haven't customized a candle before, let me tell you it is so easy. I don't mean kind of easy, I mean really really easy. I might be compelled to make a few more to have on hand for those summer get togethers where I need a small thank you/hostess gift or maybe I"ll give candles to the teachers this year instead of my usual "ko"sters.
If someone has been on your mind lately, take a moment to make something for them. It's worth the time.
