How To Ask Little Kids To Be In Your Wedding

Simple...They LOVE Twix bars.

DIY: Teacup Candles

Tools and Materials
Nested pans
Partially burned candles
Candy thermometer
Tongs
New wicking (can be found at craft stores)
Teacups
Wick sustainers
Wooden skewers

Teacup Candles How-To
1. In a small pan set over a larger pan of simmering water, melt down old candles; clip the thermometer to the upper pot, and keep temperature at about 185 degrees. Remove old wicks with tongs.

2. Cut a piece of wicking to the cup's height plus 2 inches. Clamp one end to a wick sustainer; tie the other end around a skewer. Dip wicking and sustainer into melted wax to coat them. Remove and stick sustainer to cup's bottom.

3. Pour in the wax, stopping 1/2 inch below the cup's rim. Allow wax to set, about 1 hour. The candle will harden with a well in the center. To even it out, use another skewer to prick a circle of holes about 1/16 inch deep around the wick. Pour in melted wax until surface is 1/4 inch below rim. Cut wick.

Sugar Lace & Butterflies For Your Tea And Coffee

I love these adorable sugar decorations by SweetDejaVu. They are so beautiful and fun -- they will make ordinary treats such as tea or coffee extra special for your guests.

Surprise your guests with a sophisticated and delicate embellishment in their cup of coffee or tea. Let it float on the surface of a freshly made cup... it will melt within 1-2 minutes, just enough time to enjoy the look of it!

It has a creamy, melt-on-the-tongue, not-too-sweet, pleasant flavor.

Sugar veil lace can also be placed be placed on top of a buttercream, chocolate ganache, or fondant covered cakes.

These delicate little butterflies add a charming touch to any drink or sweet dessert!

You can attach them to any cup or dish with a dab of syrup.
- cup of coffee, tea, hot chocolate or cocktail glasses...
- cakes, petit fours or custard dishes...

Baci by Perugina: Finest Italian Chocolates

I got a box of Baci! They are so good! And each chocolate comes with a little love note in Italian, English, Spanish, French and German.

Adorable.

I've eaten 4 so far...here are my love quotes

"Love has made me live love ardently." - G. Stampa

"Oh truly love me! Oh murmur words of fire!" - J. keats

"Lovers can live on kisses and water." - Proverbio

"You will always be beautiful to me and I will always be true to you." - Cira de Pers

Baci – A kiss from the heart of Italy. Silky dark chocolate enrobes a heart of gianduia (a luscious creamy blend of milk chocolate and ground hazelnuts) dotted with chopped hazelnuts and crowned with a whole hazelnut. Each confection is hugged with a love note and is wrapped in Baci’s signature silver and blue foil.

Such a cute idea to give to your sweetie. 

Butter London Nail Lacquer

Yummy Mummy and Toff

Shanny got me some beautiful Butter London nail lacquers. I just love these colors! They are so pretty and the best thing it that Butter London is a 3 free company-- meaning no formaldehyde, toluene or DBP. "They believe in color, not carcinogens" I like that!

Yummy Mummy: Our ‘magic’ lacquer. This medium beige colour is simply stunning on EVERY skin colour. If you can’t decide on a lacquer, then we will for you. It’s this.

Toff: A darker, dustier, brownish variation on a rose pink. Stop to smell them. The roses, not the toffs.

Vans Shoe Art

I love art! Every now and then I will "Sharpie" a pair of shoes for my friends. My latest pair was requested by Ryan, the photographer of our engagement pictures. Ryan Longnecker runs a company called Equals D Photography. He wanted "photography themed" vans with earthy colors. Here I am coffee staining the background to achieve a vintage photography look.

Here are some other shoes that I have created.
