Say it isn't so! Xmas in July. Where is the year going. I really hate the idea that the holidays are right around the corner. I am just starting to enjoy summer. Oh well, it is what it is. I really wasn't going to create anything for "Xmas in July". I am not ready to think that far ahead yet. I am a lousy early Xmas planner, shopper etc. If I buy anything now I am sure to duplicate it or forget where I stashed it...LOL Any how one of my client's gave me a Scenspiratations candle. Naturally is has a lovely Hawaiian scent and the box is very tropical. I knew I wanted to reuse it and make something with it. I have had it for a few months and decided to turn it into an ornament. It is light enough to hang on our tree and will add a sunny Luau flavor to our snowy weather in December. Who doesn't want to be in Kona during the holiday's! I entered this into the following challenges:
Anyone for Anya Be Dazzled
Anya Ink Xmas in July
Charisma Cardz Anything but Square
Fab'n'Funky Reuse/ Recyle
