Decoupage Candle Holder - PINTEREST GETS ME AGAIN!

I Love Pinterest! So many cute things. Wish I can do it all!

I talked before about decoupage. There are so many beautiful items out there. My first few tries I can't say they match up, but I am sure it will take some practice and acquiring the perfect material. I have been experimenting with a few different things. Napkins, printed paper and such.

My first couple of tries were blunders. Sorry. No pictures.

After a little bit of google I come up with these:

The vintage clip art can be found at Free Pretty Things For You.

I found the Mod Podge Rocks Blog helpful too.

I do think they turned out cute. I just love the images. They remind me of Nursery Rhyme books from when I was a kid. They look lovely with tealight candles too!

Yankee to Southern Bell

We moved from Ohio to Mississippi in 2014. The BIG PLAN was to sell our Ohio house and purchase land, put a mobile home on it, paying with funds from the sale of the house. The idea was that we would not have a mortgage payment. Sounds good, huh? It does to me too. But Murphy's Law doesn't think so. (want more irony, we stayed with the Murphy's for while throughout some of this) We have been faced with many challenges over the last few years. But I am proud to say we do not have a mortgage payment and we do not have credit card debt either. First challenge: LAND It is good to know people. A friend sold us some land that had a structure on it that he had started himself. This is what the inside looked like: That is after cleaning it up a bit and running the electrical. It cost us more than we planned to spend. And biggest challenge. Its not finished. We really can't move into it looking like this. But look at the view: THAT'S MY BACKYARD! After ...
