And this is New Year's Eve.....

Today I am meeting a customer at

the Shoppe so she can pick up some items....

I'm nothing if not accommodating :)

This afternoon I will  paint yet another piece

of my daughter's furniture....

The painting will continue into the year

as we paint everything in her house white.

She is my daughter, after all :)

This evening I will soak my black eyed peas for

easier cooking tomorrow....

We will enjoy our traditional dinner of

fried chicken, jalapeno black eyed peas, mashed potatoes,

and gravy....

I am a Texas girl, you know :)

Tonight will be a nice dinner

And grand babies, and a warm cozy fire, with all my furry babies...

Because I am so blessed.

Happy New Year...

You have the ability to change your life

in ways that will make

you happy.

Vintage Teacup Candelabra....It just doesn't get any easier than this!

I take on my share of big, difficult projects,

but just every once in a while

I like to do something that is

quick, easy, and has great impact for little effort.

The biggest challenge with this project is finding

just the right candelabra.

I keep my eyes open all the time for items to 

use at later dates so I can usually find something

like this in my "stash".

And this is as easy as it gets.....

Using Kiltz, I paint my candle holder.

After it is completely dry, I distress it just a little.

I use liquid nail in a small tube, and

I glue my saucers directly to the wooden

candle cups.

Allow it to dry overnight and put your cups in place.

These can be permanently glued, but I prefer to leave them

loose so I am able to easily clean them after

burning my candles.

It just doesn't get any easier than that, does it?

And it is gorgeous with small votive candles.

Sometimes the most obvious and the easiest

of creations are the most impressive.

Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by, you know I love it when you come.
