Why is it that December always seems to just slip away from me? I need to put a pause on a couple of days, and catch up with life around me, and my to-do list! Monday I catch a flight up to the northwest for the Christmas holiday. While I don't ever look forward to the flight, I always look forward to the time spent up north. I have a fistfull of project to share with you, but haven't had time to get photos taken. Soon, I promise!!
A while ago (October? November?) I mentioned that I made some cinnamon dipped primitive candles, but at the time didn't have a photo to share. Well, I snapped this one the other day at the local shop these are sold in, so you could see what I was talking about. The candles are sold in pairs, wrapped with a festive piece of homespun fabric. And they smell sooooo gooooooooood! I made them in two sizes, and am presenting them in two old bread tins from my kitchen cupboard. *grin*
Yummy! I wanna sniff!

A very nice picture it is too! At first glance it looks like a box of dynamite with the fuzes set to go........ But then knowing me and others knowing me.... I changed my thoughts......... nice candles!! I cant wait for you to get home and show the blogosphere what has been happening in the great Wight north. The girls up here have lots of ideas that wont blow up in your face......Love, Dad

Anna,
Would love to know how you made the candles. They look wonderful. I bet they smell super when burning.
Have a very safe trip home for Christmas. Watch out for bugs on the plane. :-)
Hugs to all, Manetta

I bet those do smell yummy. Will you be staying through Christmas? Will Alan stay home alone? (If you can ever be alone with ALL those critters.) :) Have a safe flight and try not to catch a bug this trip! Hugs...
