Every once and again, various blog posts end up there and I forget to check it every few days! Love the snowy pictures.. glad you and not me! Good idea to carry your phone.. I do that too now, even when I just go out to feed our community cat behind the house. Sometimes I forget and that would be the time I would trip and fall! I'm really awful at finishing up little jobs.... when I finally get to a larger job, I usually get it done as don't want it hanging over my head, but little ones in the house I just look at and tell myself.. I'll do it another time! Your spice jar labels are just darling! I too usually save and wash the candle jars as they are so good for so many things. Also love your candlesticks... white on black looks so neat. Why don't I ever think of doing that? What kind of paint do you use? chalk paint or just regular latex paint? I have never used chalk paint yet and don't like the fact that I would have to wax over it or spray a sealer on it, etc. The spice rack your Steve made is so nice and just perfect! Have a good Friday (already?)... xoxo Marilyn Marilyn McLeod @ Pink Paper Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166022624714254716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-76272749517910418942022-01-07T07:20:51.292-08:002022-01-07T07:20:51.292-08:00Omg, your too funny!

I have not done the orange slices but like the looks of them. I am glad you take your phone out with you when you go to your art barn. We try to do that here also when we go out in the courtyard. Your labels looks so nice.

I love the labels that you added to the jars and your candle holders look amazing. I tried drying orange slices a couple times. The first time didn't go so well. I don't know what ever happened to the second ones I did.

It was relatively mild which was nice. This year is brutal already from what everyone has told us. It is supposed to be 7F here tonight and 0 tomorrow. I think it's everywhere. <br />Those candles and labels are perfection. Coincidentally I was trying to organize my spices this afternoon. I just can't find a place in this house that I like. I wonder if Dennis could do something like Steve did. In our Spokane house I had a drawer just for spices. I used little mason jelly jars and painted the lids with chalkboard paint. Then I wrote the spices on it. I could see at a glance which was which. Sometimes I really miss that house.<br />Your home looks so comfortable and cozy. How fun to putter around adding a touch here and there.<br />Stay safe and warm Connie.<br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-1919668372151362612022-01-04T20:01:17.279-08:002022-01-04T20:01:17.279-08:00Hi Connie, your candle holders look beautiful!

Your candle makeover is beautiful! Think how much those would cost at Hobby Lobby or HomeGoods. (Too much!) <br /><br />Dried oranges are fun to make. I did that two Christmas's ago, punched a hole in the top of the dried oranges, and strung them on twine for a little garland.<br /><br />Your cute spice labels made all the difference on those jars! Great job.<br /><br />It is snowy and very cold here, too. Temps are dipping even more later this week where we'll be below zero at night and in the morning.
