Good Morning WOYWW(er's)
My desk is still as messy as last weeks I just pushed away some bits to make way for this quick project I did on last night. I was tidying up my kitchen when I noticed a very boring looking candle which I had never used. It smelled nice but was hidden away, probably because it didn't look very pretty. Anyway I knew I had some free paper's from Simply Homemade magazine which I have to say "I love!" Anyway I decided that this candle needed more TLC than the dirty pots and pans so set to work making this candle look pretty instead! Some people may think I have my priorities wrong but I can assure you that the kitchen will get a lot more attention when I have that lovely candle lit and smelling beautifully than it would have done without it!!!
Can't wait to pop over and see what everyone else has been up to. Have a great day.

Thanks for sharing - and I would choose anything over pots and pans
Kichen is not as important a space a crafting. Glad you have your priorities right. My wife usually lights candles while she's cooking so I may have to decorate a few too. Have a nice day
This is a great idea. And there is no such thing as wrong priorities, just variations. Thanks for the share.
Lovely creative space - I think I would choose anything over the pots and pasns as well!!
Have a great WOYWW,

The candle would win out over the pots & pans every time for me too, lol. Shaz #118

Good for you! The dishes can wait....first things first, right? Love what you've done with your candle!
I bought that mag at the weekend it had some lovely stamps. My son left a post it next to the cupcake recipe with the words "make me" cheeky monkey Hugs Pam x
Your priorities are spot on! That's just what I would have done and I'm proud for you1

Thanks for your thoughts o my blog too.
No matter how much housework you do it will always be there so why worry about it? Let the craftiness come first I say!

Got to move while the inspiration is there :-) lovely candle. It doesn't look like you desk is a fire hazard quite yet, unlike mine most days
I agree with your theory, the housework will be much more enjoyable if you have a pretty candle to cheer you on while you do it!! Annette #5
I so like your thinking !
Love your candle. Thanks for sharing!
Anything that tempts me into the kitchen must be a good idea! I am sure I have a candle that needs a make over somewhere! lol
Creative, that's what your desk is!
Playing catch-up on my visits.
Hugs, Sandra (WOYWW no. 59)
Love your pics, lots going on there!
Lovely candle!!
greets Marleen
Thats such a good idea - I have a candle in a glass jar and it looks a bit rubbish so I might pimp it up now! thanks for the inspiration.
you have got your priorities right..... I bet the candles look and smell divine. thanks for sharing. hugs xxx
That candle looks really beautiful now! Great project.
Oh pots and pans and ironing can wait! But if you've got this urge to create, that's not always there and you have to, as they say, just do it! Great job on the candle! Patsy from

Hi Rebecca - I did laugh at your comment on my blog :) You ain't seen the rest of the house honey - crafting today, housework whenever............'house rules'! Di x
Love the candle idea. Will give the room a lovely warm glow and another plus is it can't see into the corners!. Rather think you are under the impression that I go to bed really early in order to get up early. Wrong. I actually went to bed at 6am that evening( erm morning). See you are into genealogy too. How far have you managed to get back? Iv'e gone back as far as 1543 on one branch of my family. Managed to get the very last copy off the shelf at WHS of Simply Homemade. Snatched it out from under the nose of a lady who was divering.( Well alls fair in love and war) Gosh this is turning into a rather long comment. (Still iv'e got all night)! Loved your tag from the previous post and also now a follower. Hugs Mrs A. #58
p.s wasn't logged in and lost my comment so have had to type it all again.Der.
A beautiful transformation, and a great use of the free papers :)
Thanks for commenting on my desk - didn't win the WI comp but didn't lose either so not a bad result. Have to agree you mind will be much more receptive to repeatative tasks now the candle is not distracting you with its ugliness. Looks great now.

Hi Rebecca . . . in answer to your question on my WOYWW 92 blog post . . . I'm afraid I also own lots of cling/clear stamps too . . . maybe they'll be featured in a future WOYWW! This week I'm featuring my "Inspiration Jar" someone else asked about! Busy busy busy!!! LOL!
Hugs, Sandra
Ooh - I got those papers too, and they are lovely, aren't they? I think I might use mine on a clock I have.
Thanks for stopping by!
