Then I was thinking how cute the suitcase is--during my younger years we did a lot more decoupaging ..I had decoupaged this case with lots of whimsical figures..I Like it~~
Black and white photo albums~
I have a pretty glass mosaic candle that was all burned down so I put it into the oven ..
melted all the wax and removed it ..I had a green candle that fit perfectly ..wah laa~~(:)
I just hate to not re-use the pretty glass candle holders~
Isn't this darling go see what else SUZEEZ has..
NEW YEAR ~~
A new year and what I am doing to start it off right is clean-out all the old food
in my freezer/ fridge~~(:)
in my freezer/ fridge~~(:)
oh it has been interesting~~(:) made a lot more room for the new food of 09'
I had a lot of frozen veggies and such, so I just used them all up, we are trying to eat
''lighter and more healthy'' after the mass amounts of goodies we ate over the Holidays~!! UGH I put on about 5-6 pounds.. not happy about it but I am gonna lose that and more HOPEFULLY~~
So glad you all came in today....(:)
Boy, you have your work cut out for you with all your pictures!
ReplyDeleteI never thought of doing that with a candle, what a great idea.
You are the 3rd or so blogger just on my blog roll alone who has mentioned cleaning out their cupboards and pantries. I think I might just have to take that as a big Hint!!
That's a big job!!
ReplyDeleteI love the pretty green candle holder!
I always recycle something I love too..

Have a blessed day my friend!
What a great tip for getting leftover wax from holders. I've tried several things and wasn't really satisfied.....this sounds like a winner. Thanks.

Yikes, lots of pictures for the new albums....but doing a little each day you'll be done before you know it. This seems a problem for all of us.... I went shopping this morning and cleaned and re-arranged my refrig this afternoon....looks so nice....now to keep it that way....freezer another day hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteAll of my printed photos are in albums arranged by date (except those few straglers that show up). I did that years ago and then made sure I kept it up. I was just looking through a few of them about a week ago. That's quite a task. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Patty, have not been around in a long time but back now and glad to see your doing so good :) I am doing the same this New year hopefully lose a few or 10 hahah
ReplyDeleteHugs,

I wonder why decoupaging went out of style? I hope it "comes back" in my lifetime! I love that suitcase!
ReplyDeleteHello Patty, I love your blog and your hugs.. so here is an award..please visit my blog to collect...
ReplyDeletePatty,,,if you put a lil bit of WATER in your candle holder before putting the candle in it...when you light it the wax will bead up on top of the water and not down under the candle...melting it to the holder. Then when the candle burns down to nothing and you want to replace it..all you have to do is lift it out by the wick and it comes right out!
ReplyDeleteI worked for a candle factory for a while...GREAT trick...pass it on!!
That suitcase!!! I'd sure carry that on a plane! Smiling through the airport too!
ReplyDeletePatty, come by my blog I've got my first giveaway goin'!
