Snow Drift Candles!

I can't take credit for this idea... totally got it from Living with Lindsay.

I needed a pretty much last minute gift for the teachers at school buying for me so I didn't feel like a shmuck for not getting them anything.

It's SUPER fast (+ drying time) and relatively cheap!

Epsom salts
Candle holders (or glassware)
Mod-Podge
Tea Lights (I used the flameless ones.)

Sorry for the yuck pictures - took 'em with my cell phone!

All snowified:

With the lights:


So cute!!

You Capture - Your Holiday!

(Disclaimer: Please be gentle... I took these with my cell camera and haven't figured out picnik.com or paint.net well enough to make them look nicer yet. That's what I get for sending the point and shoot to New York with Westin! I should just steal borrow Dad's dslr!)

I made ornaments with my students from old Christmas cards:

I made a wreath out of ornaments...
(One of my "shatterproof" ornaments, straight from the box):
All lined up (because I'm OCD like that):
Wiring them up:
My glittery hand:
The finished product!(That didn't even fit between the door and the storm door... so it's been sitting on my floor!!

We put up our mini-apartment-sized tree...

I made Mom an ornament wreath too!

We went Grocery Shopping for some (31) needy families in town:

And the cashier was a nutcracker!

Abbe wore a delightful holiday sweater...

We were our silly selves!
