Angie I think it was you who posted either last Christmas or the one before a cute craft where you wrapped tealight candles in Christmas fabric and there was a cute poem attached? I could be wrong, if it wasn't you do you know who it was?? If it was you, could you please repost it? Thanks!

That was me. Hmmm, where is that now? I'll find and post it.

I found it. I copied it and now I'll try to paste...

I don't know if I can explain the things I made

I took cellophane wrap and wrapped six votive candles in a up/down, sausage like roll. Inbetween each candle I tied a piece of holiday fabric into a bow. At the top I attached the following poem on a piece of holiday cardstock.....

Wish Candles

Place these candles in a row,
Light each one so you will know.
Six things I wish for you today,
And hope that soon they'll come your way.
Peace and Love to feed your soul,
Strength to reach your every goal.
Hope and Joy to make your days bright,
Courage to always do what's right.
I hope my wishes help you through,
Whatever life presents to you.
The candle flames will burn and then depart…
But my wishes will stay, if you keep them in your heart.



I made 60 of these for my mother to give to her clients. My mom saw them at a craft show for $6.50 and I made them for about $1.50 each. They turned out really great, but were quite time consuming!

I also gave Brichard some of the "bean soup jars" to give to his female co-workers.

RCT - I wish I'd gotten around to making some of those recipe books like you did! They sound awesome! I thought you were making "barbie" sleeping bags that were "kid-sized."

That's it! Thanks Angie, I just loved that idea. I am definitely going to make them. Thanks so much!

I like the candle idea and poem. I might get the dk's to make them to put in their teachers gift baskets.
