Oooh I'm so excited my advent swaps have arrived from Alijane over at gingercat.
I'm now counting down till I can start opening them (have been doing the christmas feely thing trying to guess what I've got!!)
Went out this morning and when I got back G told me that my big candle in a jar, that I keep in the bathroom, had jumped off the shelf and the jar had broken!! Well I didn't want to waste it as it smells of gingerbread so ..........
I melted the wax
Found some little voitres that I normally have my tealights in, some wicks ooh and a bit of glitter
And TATA my lovely new candles. I actually had loads of fun and it's given me some ideas for pressies..
Also have notice that I'm up to 49 followers and you know what that means? One more and then its giveaway time yipee....
