Thanks Sherry! I really love the beeswax candle idea! I know all the girls in the family will love that as we are all candle burners!
Is there a way to scent them with with anything? Could you put a little scented oil on them have you tried that? The beads spelling out their names is really clever too!
Yes, your Mom's treasured gifts are definitely worth mentioning!
My sister and I gathered some muscadine vines (I think it was the same time we made the jelly) and made wreaths and Christmas trees one year. They are plentiful in many areas in the South and free! We also gather pine cones and nuts and seed pods to decorate them. You can paint and glitter them for a more sparkling effect. You can put mini lights on them also if they aren't the ones that get hot (you need those to wrap the bananas with anyway). The pine cones make really cute little Christmas trees themselves too and you can decorate them with teeny little ornaments that you can make or get at a craft store, dipping the pine cones in wax make good fire starters too......to be continued
