UPS delivered, everythings ready! I'm excited to do the decorating and enjoy the dinner! Here's a little sneak peak at the project that will be part of my decorating. I made these cute little snowball candles, which will be part of the centerpieces. They took me about 30 minutes to make twelve, start to clean-up.
You will need:
Spread out some paper, Hold a candle by the wick with one hand. Spray on the adhesive while spinning the candle slowly with the other hand. Immediately, dip the candle in a bowl of epsom salt, making sure to cover the entire candle, sprinkling some over the top and sides, as necessary. Pick up the candle again by the wick, respray it and redip it once more to make sure it's totally covered. Allow to dry completely. I've made these candles before using Decoupage, but again, why? The spray adhesive is so much more simple! The candles were $1.25 a piece at Hobby Lobby, in the value pak. The spray glue was $6.99. The Epsom Salt is less than $4 for this 4# bag and I used less than 2 cups. Very inexpensive! And here's the finished product:
And finally, the finished product, for the dinner for 240 members of our LDS Stake...
A new Zaylee quote: Go-Go our little Malti-Poo was sniffing around the "Go Fish" cards that Zaylee was playing with on the floor. Zaylee, in her own little "RED" personality, said, "Go-Go, NO! You can't play with these, they are only for the big kids." That pretty much sums up what Zaylee thinks she is.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Life is good when you see the good in life.
