may we bless you with gifts

the month of May is full of celebration for us!
there always seems to be another person, another moment,
another milestone to celebrate with each passing day!
spring is busting out all over and our hearts cannot contain the gladness.

we decided to make some little gifts to give away to those who have
touched our lives lately. these are so simple and sweet: stained glass candles

you'll need:
small candles in jars (we used $1 candles from Wal-Mart) + shredded tissue paper (Target)
+ modge podge (Hobby Lobby) + paint brush (Wal-Mart) + twine or ribbon (any craft supply store)

i painted the glass candle jars with modge podge and let my little guys
use their creative minds to place tissue paper shreds all over the sticky space.

when they were finished, i had to rearrange a few pieces so they would lay flat.
i then applied another coat of modge podge over the finished work, and added some twine.

the month of May is when my blog began! can't wait to celebrate my 1 year anniversary with you all
