5000 hits! & Summer Outdoor candle Decor

Hey friends!  Today I reached over 5000 hits!   You know how sometimes you just blog and wonder if anyone actually reads it?!  My friends number has stayed at 28 for a while now so I was beginning to wonder if I was getting any new traffic!

A sweet friend of mine that I used to work with posted this on Facebook about wanting to start her own blog: "I am really starting to think about it Lytha Lee....I read Jessi Lynn Marx Blog all of the time and I love the arts & crafts and stories that she shares...it really inspires me to be a better me"   SO NICE!!  Hearing that totally inspired me.  I'm so blessed to be able to inspire others and share the gifts God has given me!  Thank you Ukema for the sweet words.  If you start a blog I look forward to reading it! :)

All that being said, I wanted to share a fun idea to bring a little ambiance to your outdoor world :)  I havent exactly been very crafty lately but when I pulled these candles out for the farewell party I remembered how easy they were to make! 

Its simply a beachy themed glass Candle holder

All you need is a large candle holder or vase, sand, seashells, and a candle.

I think it's pretty easy to see how it's put together so I wont go into detail :) Simply layer your sand and seashells and set the candle on top!

Put it anywhere you need a little extra "pretty".  I have a few of these, One is by my bathtub! The others I move around as needed.


So there you go! A super simple craft for any occassion :)

  2. Hi-
    I just found your blog through somewhat simple (I applied as well to be a contributor). I understand what you mean about the friends number never increasing. Hang in there - I'm trying to. I just became a follower.
