Love the candles - what a brilliant idea. Didn't the plastic melt though?
The lake looked fun, but chilly :-)
The plastic warped a little after several uses, but didn't actually melt. I don't think the candles would - it wasn't easy getting a wick down the middle - but they were just a bit of quirky fun.
so much fun!
My children love playing with wax!
So funny that she came up with a toothbrush mold! Hooray for ingenuity. :)
Candle making—that takes me back! My dad used to make them; I remember sitting and watching him, feeling content and connected. So now I want to do it TOO :) Thank you for the inspiration!
And I love the pics of your trip to the lake. I so love to be near water. We just went camping by the lake and I recharged my batteries—it's so easy to do outdoors, isn't it?
Thank you for all these images, and I love the header of your blog—what a glorious fire!
Such a variety of creative ideas.
DId you lie down after this day?!
Love the replica guns, I have an eight year old who is currently crafting his own bow out of willow...including some rather deadly arrows.
