this little light of mine

dilemma: needed two gifts. it's almost christmas and our gift budget has dwindled to very little.

what to do? what to do? make it!

first i found some little cups at goodwill for $1 each.

then i melted wax from two candles i got from walmart for $.88 each

then i removed the wick from the melted wax and tied it to a spaghetti noodle to sit over the cup. pour in the wax. try not to make a mess or your husband will say "i told you so" or something.

go for a 4.5 mile run* while you let the wax dry! cut the knot that is tied to the noodle and TA-DAAAA!!!

*attempting 4.5 miles after a month hiatus between half-marathons is NOT advised. things will ache. that is all.

soak up these last few christmas days!!
