Happy New Year '2007'

made by 'meloearth' ...get it on ESTY.

Coolest 'how to' ..EVER

You must see this video for how to make your very own steam candle from a tea light!
You use simple copper piping and watch your candle spin like a little steam engine.
It's totally cool and so easy to make! AWESOME.
Go check it out makezine.com and tell me what you think.

Here's to a Happy 2007!

Snowflakes in your hair!

I absolutely love Heather's idea for another use of the ANTHROPOLOGIE snowflake! She used it in her daughters hair... fabulous! I'm going to do it to...for my little chicky!




Here's JOY's photo of the snowflake if you haven't seen it! so sweet.

CB2........very cool

I'm raving about these new tea light holders my sister-in-law just emailed me about.
They are called 'Whirly Hanging Votive Holders'. Described by CB2 as 'Whimsical spheres of clear handblown glass showcase flickering candlelight via modern portholes.' You can hang them in singles, multiples or even place on a flat surface.

I love them in multiples...like this photo.........
Don't you love them? Needless to say my order is in and I can't wait to get them!

$3.95 each..

Domino Magazine.........still loving it!

Have you seen Domino Magazines website makeover. Very nice!
These pics are from their inspiration galleries........

Flash backs..

Don't you just love finding old pictures. This is a picture of me and my older sister.

I'm the lil' one. I have no idea how old we were. Christmas brings back such great memories as a kid.......with lots and lots of presents. I know thats not what its all about but, as a kid, we remember the presents!!

Holiday season.... drives me nuts

There is just so much to do..so little time. I know, I know everyone's busy. I just feel like there's not enough time to take a deep breath and relax. The whole stress of buying so many gifts and making them meaningful is sooo time consuming. Yes, it doesn't help that I wait so long, this I know. But some habits are hard to change overnight.

So today I spent a couple hours shopping. I didn't do so bad. But it is hard to resist shopping for yourself. But today I actually succeeded! Not one gift for me. I would mention what I bought but I can't give anything away just yet.

So on to more important stuff....I would have loved to have my 'product' ready for this holiday season. I was trying to decide if I should start with ETSY. I also considered going through Design*Sponge's new shop. But they would have to be limited edition if I go that route. We'll see what happens. But I will be showing you very soon, I promise.
