~Re~Used Cans~

Re~Used Cans....What a great way to help the environment and enjoy the scent of a 100% soy wax candle...The one on the right is Carrot Cake and the other is Granny's Kitchen...I have a very large variety of scents that I can do these in as well...The cans were grubbed by using a special blend of spices to create this Prim look! I have tied a red and cream ribbon around them and placed a rusty bell in the center. When burning keep away children and your furry friends! Thanks for taking a peek at my blog and hope you stop bye again♥

More Snowmen

Yes, another one! But larger! This one was created from a 5lb. coffee tin that I knew I could reuse for something. He has a red and cream homespun scarf tied around his neck and a twisted wire with raffia bow accented on the side.
You could fill this can with candy canes or just hang it from your tree.
There are holes in the back, so you could even place a tea light candle inside and there would be a warm glow from behind him.
I have also listed this guy on ebay. You can view that listing by clicking HERE to go to Ebay.
Thank you for taking a peek at my blog!

Who Doesn't LOVE Snowmen?

This is my first attempt at a blog. I honestly had never heard of such a thing. Until my Mom, Kat from Kats Country Prims, told me I "needed one" to share my creations. So, here I am, blogging. LOL!
And here is one of the items I recently listed on Ebay. These are little reused tin cans! I am going green. I am recycling! They originally held mushrooms or tomato sauce so they are about 2.5" in height. But now, since I have hand painted them, given them a fancy little homespun scarf around their necks, and even added a little rusty jingle bell for extra eye appeal. They are little snowman heads. And they will look great on a Christmas tree as they hang from their twisted wire hangers!

Thanks so much for taking a peek! If you would like to see more of my items, you can click HERE to go to ebay for a better look!
