Decorating with Epson Salt

So look what you can do with Epson salts!  I took mason jars and poured Espon Salts into them to make it look like snow!

Then......in the pictures towards the bottom of post I took a candle and brushed Modge Podge around the candle then rolled it into the Espon Salts and it looks very glittery.  I haven't decorated the candle anymore than the the Epson Salts and look how beautiful it looks!  The picture below is what the mason jar looks like up close with the "snow" in it.

Now run to Target and get some Epson Salts!  (or your cupboards!)

Here I just put the epson salts into a plastic container.  Brush on  the modge podge with a sponge brush and roll the candle right into the salts.  Let dry.   Below is how it looks dried.  I haven't even decorated it yet!  So pretty!

70th Celebration

It's been a full weekend of Thanksgiving and celebrations!  Not much time for creating, except memories. The most important kind.  We celebrated my Dad's 70th birthday at a local Winery.  It turned out to be an incrediable evening.

We had local wine, yummy catered food and my Daughter Shelby sang the song "Landslide" to all the guests during my Dad's slideshow presentation.   The picture above is our immediate family. 

Here are all my Sister's minus one, Dad and his Wife and my kiddos.

All the Grandkiddos so far......

My dearest Friend of 30 years Ceri
Hope you all have had a wonderful weekend with family and friends.

Wishing Everyone A Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Day brings to mind
the blessings in our lives
that usually go unnoticed:
a home that surrounds us
with comfort and protection;
delicious food, for pleasure
in both eating and sharing;
clothes to snuggle up in,
books and good entertainment
to expand our minds;
and freedom to worship our God.
Most of all we are thankful
for our family and friends,
those treasured people
who make our lives extra special.
You are part of that cherished group.
On Thanksgiving, (and every day)
I appreciate you!
Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!.

Beau Chateau Christmas Ornaments

Here are the Beau Chateau Ornaments that I promised to show you.  Aren't they just show stoppers!
You  are going to follow the same directions as the Vintage Newsprint Ornaments, I will post below for you.
If you don't have the Beau Chateau DSP paper then you can always you the Beau Chateau Fabric!  Yes!
this works with the Modge Podge great too. I added our Stampin Up Exclusive ribbons to decorate them with and the Beau Chateau Side Notes to adorn them and the Pearls.    Try to keep the images as close to what the paper looks like when you are teraring you pieces to attach to the glass balls.  

Instructions

Take your DSP Newsprint and tear small pieces and set aside. Put 2 TBLS of modge podge in a bowl and add a teaspoon of water to dilute it. Take the pieces of DSP and drop into the bowl let sit for 2 minutes to let the paper soften. Take your ornaments and remove the cover at the top where you hang it and set aside. Your paper should now be soften start covering the ornaments with the pieces of DSP til it is totally covered. Take the Mica Snowflakes and cover the ornaments with them and let dry. I set the ornaments on top of a drinking glass to dry. To decorate choose matching ribbons,  I used the Pretty In Pink Satin Ribbon, Chatilly Lace, and Baja Breeze Seam Binding Ribbon and silver cording.  Then add your Beau Chateau Side Notes or Rossettes and Pearls.    Drop me a comment and let me know what you think,  I love to get feedback!  xoxo
