Is your nose tingling yet? I was asked a while ago what my favorite candle scents were and decided to post my answer here since my house is smelling so yummy right now. These are a few of my favorite scents....and I use Scentsy...I decided I didn't want to burn candles once we moved into our new home...so I melt these babies now and they are heaven on earth. Here's a link for you to check out if you're at all curious....I am converted.
This week at Emma's Paperie, there is a beautiful color challenge posted on the blog...red and gold...here is what I came up with. 
I love the chipboard pieces from Tattered Angels and decided to make this large looking glass my focal point and coated it with Melissa France gold glitter and then stacked in on top of heaps of other goodies from Making Memories, Jenni Bowlin, Maya Road, Anna Griffin, Crafty Secrets, Webster's Pages, 7Gypsies.....a complete supply list can be found HERE on the Emma's Paperie blog.
And, last week's project for Emma's next up. Each month we are asked to design a workshop for you and I chose to create a fun and shabby ornament. 
A supply list and step-by-step instructions on how to create your own can be found HERE.
Lastly...the other half of the project I tried to post yesterday....it most certainly was a Monday around here....kind of glad it's over and done with now :) 
I am crazy for the vintage goodness of Crafty Secrets products. The stickers are from the What's Cooking Cardstock Sticker set, and the calendar is from the Seasonal Calendar Creative Scrap set....ohhhhh they're cute.
Off I go to cook somethin' tasty.
Night.

I havent burned candles in years because I leave home with them burning. I use Candle Warmer lanterns and lamps with my Salt City Candles and love it. They melt from the top and makes the candles last for months instead of weeks.
I love the red/gold color theme, very elegant :)

I hardly comment, but i did a few searching and wound upp here LilyBean Paperie: poinsettia pine.... And I actually do have 2 questions ffor you if you don't mind. Could it be only me or does it seem like some of the responses look as if they are coming from brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing on other online social sites, I'd like to keep upp with anything fresh you have to post. Could you list of all of all your publiic sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page oor linkedin profile?
