DIY {gold striped candle}

As you may have noticed lately, I am on a major gold kick. The shiny color has become something that I almost always gravitate towards and it's starting to pop up all over my house and wardrobe on a regular basis (and I love it!). I came across this fabulous idea from my favorite idea site and couldn't wait to try it this week. I definitely need to head back over to the store and get a few more of these because I feel like they look better in clusters. But for $1.00-$1.50 you can't beat a fun shiny candle.

DIY {glitter mason jar candle holder}

A few months back, I got my hands on tons of mason jars and haven't quite decided what I wanted to do with them until now. With my recent addiction to glitter, as you must know by now, I decided why not glitter the mason jars for stylish holiday table decor. YES! So grab your jars, double stick tape and glitter color of choice and get crafty friends!

Here is my winter wonderland version. Stay tuned for the tablescape photos.

homemade holidays DIY {personalized candle}

I don't know about you guys, but I LOVE candles and honestly who doesn't... So this year, I wanted to try a personalized candle and I really had fun making it (and the best part, it was under$5)

I found some pretty great deals on candles at our favorite swedish store and starting painting. I have a small collection of doilies that I used as a stencil for this one, and then painted a friend's initial on it. I think it's safe to say that she loved it!
