Me and my husband just love the lights of candles. Therefore our home is full of candlesticks of all kinds, but it seems there is never enough of them, so I’ve made some more from jars:
It’s easy to do them even without being a decoupage-guru. All you need is a jar, paper napkin with nice design, some C-200 glue and some free time.
I made them this summer, while playing with a piece of Cernit clay.
Nice embellishments for gift wrapping or such things…
If you don’t know why, ask Google Images. ;-)
For the rest of you, enjoy:
Reunited…
They are BIG, you know?
I thought the concert will never finish. Song after song, FNM were there on the beach of Bourgas, excellence beyond all expectations. All of them perfect, Mike Patton himself – unbelievable!
This time, I cannot say too much. It’s like this when you are simply happy. :-)
It was so beautiful while sometimes his shadow was projected over the giant trees near the stage… Hope somebody took a good picture of this.
The Man With Thousand Voices – he knows perfectly how to please the audience.

20. We Care a Lot
I am thinking about making such an exploding gift box for years.
It’s called “exploding”, which is quite an exaggeration, of course. Nothing to explode, though, only very nice effect on opening. :-)
I saw the idea on this website two or three years ago, but just bookmarked it then. Obviously the right moment to make it was the other day, when I finally decided to give it a try. The reason was the birthday of a very special friend, so I sat and started work.
There are people able to make it for less than an hour, but with me that’s definitely not the case.
The details took me a lot of time, because I really wanted it to be an exquisite one.
Well, I won’t say how long it took me to finish it, but it was worthy.
The recipient liked it very much and even said:
The best present! :-) It radiates the love that was made with! :-)
Hey, It’s wonderful to hear something like this! ;-)
…from my last walk in the woods…
Looks like it’s not only Michel, who enjoys taking macro shots of all kinds of small flowers & insects;-)
At least I hope so.
My heart is heavy from thought about people I love and care for. But we cannot find a way to each other.
That’s why I am probably talking with them constantly in my mind.
Who’s right? And who’s wrong?
It doesn’t matters at all…
We spent the whole Sunday together with Michel, disassembling an old Pentium 2.
I came out with the idea of making a robot figure from computer parts, and he did it nicely, so I am leaving him with the pleasure of tell you all the details in pictures and words later.
The robot was meant to be a very special present for a very special friend and I hope he likes it. ;-)
Inspired by the new opportunities to mess about (I couldn’t resist to try myself), I observed what was left from all of the parts and assembled my own mini-version of a robot, who is curiously looking at me from the desk right now:
FYI, he can turn his head and waist on 180 degrees and he is a very friendly one. :-)
This weekend went totally under the shadow of the government elections here. What made it brighter were the birthdays of two of our closest friends.
I found a good idea in Papercraft Inspirations magazine. My .net colleagues gave me subscription for it as a present for my own birthday last year. I developed a bit the idea for this greeting card and that’s how it ended:
It was a lot of fun to make.
I was thinking how much she is going to like it, although not perfect – the reason is lack of some important tools.
I wanted it to remind her of a typical girlish childhood.
What was the present for the other friend in Sunday? Will show you right now, hold on for a while. :-)
Meet the letter-eaters:
Love them and don’t shoot, please. When they become grown-ups, some of them will be good editors. :-)
