Merry Holiday Candles

Good Afternoon Friends! Just when you thought I was finished using Big Birthday Candle, I found another way to use it! My inspiration was the floral paper. And one of the complimentary colors was Garden Green.....this was the first time I used it in about 2 years! Guess it was time, huh?

It's difficult to see but the red patterned paper has glitter on it so, to compliment that I used Stickles on the candle flame. I am really lovin' this gradiated flame, if I don't say so myself!!

Thanks for taking the time to look at my creation. Hope your summer is going great and that you are not too hot and bothered!

Mojo75 Challenge and Family Weekend

We had a very busy weekend after a very busy week. My husband's parents came in for the weekend from Wisconsin. They generally come a couple of times a year depending on what is going on at their farm. Right now they are waiting the arrival of baby goats. My In-Laws milk goats, show goats and sell goats....in addition to doing other things on their farm.

We had a short but nice visit and spent sometime with our son, Clark, too. They brought him an early birthday gift. It always makes him sad that
he cannot go visit them anymore....due to his physical condition.


On Sunday, after they left to return home, we went to my parent's for Dad's 76th birthday. Right now he is feeling a bit better....he has been struggling with lung cancer for over 2 years now....but, he is still so much thinner than he should be. I am so grateful that he is stil with us!! The doctors only gave him a few months a little over a year ago.

Wayne left in the early afternoon for Phoenix. He will be there for another week at least. So, I went downstairs to make this card. It took me much too long to make!! I found it on Dannie's Designs Blog and inspiration from Mojo Monday Blog. I hope you like it!
