First off, only Hollywood movie starts spend tens of thousands of dollar on flowers. I have been to many weddings and no one has spent that much.

Sorry, but I DO love real flowers. It can be something as simple as 1 rose in a vase with some greens:

OR….a bowl with a few floating flowers:

Now, you asked about alternatives. Well, the most common alternative for centerpiece decorations other than flowers are candles:

Aromatherapy has long been in practice as an alternative healing technique, though the term itself is relatively new. Practitioners use this treatment, involving the use of volatile plant oils also known as “essential oils”, to improve their moods and relieve stress. Some believe it assists in the healing process as well. Scented aromatherapy candles have become very popular for these reasons and due to the variety available.

Aromatherapy candles are a great gateway for those wanting to experience the positive effects of aromatherapy but have not developed an exacting knowledge of different combinations of essential oils and recipes that are available. Or simply don’t care for the fuss and the details and want a ready-made solution combined with the ambiance that candle light delivers.

Scented candles with aromatherapy properties are commonly used to enhance one’s surroundings during spiritual ceremonies such as prayers or to assist with relaxation during meditation exercises. Of course, romantic and intimate occasions are very well served by such candle-aided enhancements.

Many different scents and aromas have been derived from different essential oils. And many times you’ll find these oils integrated together in an effort to achieve a synergistic effect.

Common essential oil ingredients include eucalyptus, peppermint, lavender, lemongrass, grapefruit, vanilla, peppermint, ginger, citrus, clove, cinnamon, cardamom & ginger, chamomile, rosemary, tangerine, orange, cedar, spruce, eucalyptus and many more.

Aromatherapeutic candles are also available in the various types of candle wax.

Gel wax aromatherapy candles combine the stunning visual qualities of gel wax with the therapeutic and mood setting characteristics of aromatherapy. These look fantastic but do not generally burn as long so there is a trade off.

Soy, bayberry, and palm and other natural wax types are often used for aromatherapy candles, with blended versions of these available as well. The completely natural qualities of these waxes lends themselves to the therapeutic, relaxation, and spiritual purposes of aromatherapy since these natural waxes are devoid of any artificial additives. These also tend to burn longer with a cleaner output and a longer scent throw so they are a superior choice for an aromatherapy candle.

Aromatherapy candles are also available in the classic styles, including votive, pillar, and container so they will cater to those with traditional or contemporary sensibilities. Pillar aromatherapy candles can last upwards of a hundred hours so they are a great choice for thrifty minded candle enthusiasts. Votives are one of the most popular candle variations so this could make a great gift or introductory candle for someone not yet familiar with aromatherapy and its benefits.

Whatever your choice, aromatherapy scented candles offer a great deal of pleasure, relaxation, and potential healing from your candle burning experience.

Mary Candler loves nothing more than to awash herself in the soothing scents and therapies of scented aromatherapy candles.

If I believe in God….?

but follow my own path, in harmony with God, why am I deemed a heathen by others?

Well Christians will tell you that there is only one way to God and that is to believe in Jesus. I was raised a Christian and still call myself a Christian, but I believe differently than what I used to. I believe that if God is love like the Bible says, and that if God is our Father there is no way He could punish his children eternally. I, as a mother, if my children told me they did not love me would not punish my children for eternity. A parent that would do that would be reported for abuse. If God is supposed to be better than us how could God punish His children eternally. I believe that every religion has some truth to it, and I don’t believe that any religion can claim to know the truth 100%. That would be arrogant. I would not tell you that you are going to hell. You have found God and that is all that really matters right?

In colonial times, candle making was an essential annual chore in all households. Home made taper candles were the only source of light for people’s homes, and there were no commercial candles available as there are today. Each household made its own candles, usually once a year. The average household needed around 400 candles a year, so this was a huge job.

Since the candles were made from tallow, or animal fat, this event usually coincided with the autumn slaughter of animals for meat. Tallow could be made from the fat of all farm animals, but that from sheep tallow was the most desirable. Pig tallow had a very bad smell, and was used by people who could not afford either beef or sheep tallow.

The earliest settlers made their candles by the dipping method. A wick of cotton was dipped repeatedly into the melted tallow, with time to cool and harden between dips. This made a taper candle. These home made candles did not burn very well, emitted odors, and the light was poor.

Those who could afford beeswax had candles from that wax. These were generally rolled from sheets of beeswax, and had a sweet honey smell. Beeswax was not very available, it was expensive, and only the very rich could afford to use candles made from it as a daily way of lighting their homes.

Some colonists found that they could make a wax from bayberries, which have a waxy coating. They boiled the berries, and the wax was skimmed from the top. This was a source of pleasant smelling wax, but there were some drawbacks. Huge numbers of berries were needed – about 15 pounds of bayberries were needed to make just one pound of bayberry wax! Since time was often at a premium for colonial women, this was not an efficient way to make candles. Also, the resulting candles were quite soft, and did not keep well in hot weather.

In the late 1700′s, whaling became an important industry in the Eastern part of America, and spermaceti (a waxy substance from the whale’s head) was found to make much better candles. This wax was harder than either tallow, beeswax or bayberry wax. The candles burned longer and brighter, and stood up to summer heat much better. They were quite expensive,

Around the same time, candle makers started to use wooden molds to make candles. This important innovation allowed candles to be made much faster, and the candles were uniformly shaped. Some candle makers would travel around, taking their molds and equipment, and making candles for people. Others set up a candle making business in one location, and sold their candles.

In the early 1800′s paraffin was first made from coal tar, and around 1850, it became commercially viable, when James Young filed a patent to produce it from coal, which was extensively mined in the eastern states. Paraffin was used to make candles of high quality, and along with the new machines that could make 1500 candles an hour, they became inexpensive and widely available.

Although they are no longer the major source of light for our homes, candles have grown in popularity and use in recent times. For many of us, candles are lit to mark celebrations; they symbolize romance, scented ones soothe our senses, and decorative candles accent our homes, where they cast a warm and mysterious glow for us to enjoy.

If a balloon tied with candle and travels in the direction of wind…, which direction the flames would bend?

If a balloon tied with lightened candle and travels in the direction of wind…, which direction the flames of the candle would bend?

Theoretically, I think the flame will not bend, because from the point of view of the candle, the air is still.

In reality, the balloon will have some air resistance, so the flame will be blown in the direction of travel.

How do you anchor the bottom of a candle wick when pouring a candle?

I use a pencil to tie the top of the wick off, but the wick bases I have aren’t heavy enough to keep the wick taught. The wick isn’t centered down the middle of the candle.

There are little tabs you can buy that you thread the wick through. Then you place a blob of wax on the bottom, put the tab into that, and then make the wick taught and pour.

With Mother’s Day soon approaching, it’s time to think about the best ways to show Mum some love and affection. After all, she’s brought you into this world, and has been nurturing and caring in her own special ways. Mum deserves a little recognition, and Mother’s Day is the one day to really say thank you, just for being Mum! Here’s some magical Mother’s Day gift ideas, with some of the best gifts to really show Mum some appreciation.

For those with a domestic Goddess of a Mum, make sure her hard work doesn’t go unnoticed. Add some style and beautiful scents to her home with some aroma reeds, or with some scented candles in a unique candle holder. Or, present her with a stunning vase, full of fresh carnations – the traditional flower to give on Mother’s Day.

If Mum is super-glamorous, then she’ll love the luxurious style of an evening pashmina. Guaranteed must-haves for the Fashionista Mum also include an ultra stylish leather wallet or purse.

For a Mum that’s a pampering Queen, I can only advise that on Mother’s day you spoil her silly! Some bath truffles or chocolate truffles are bound to please – or for an even more generous gesture, give her a pamper hamper or a whole relaxation day experience.

If, on the other hand, she’s more of a gardening or outdoorsy Mum, you could always give her some striking new gardening tools, or an imaginative new watering can. An organic skin care set to pamper those hard working hands is also bound to be appreciated. Another great Mother’s Day gift idea is the set of herb egglings, so she can grow fresh herbs anywhere around the home.

If you’re still in need of inspiration, other equally as thoughtful Mother’s Day gift ideas include a supermum keyring, or the beautiful hearts and flowers paperweight with the words ‘thank you for being my mum’, to constantly remind her how you feel. And why not tell her she’s fabulous, successful and glamorous with some gorgeous affirmations mugs!

Whatever you choose to give on Mother’s Day, make sure Mum feels loved, pampered and cared for in the way that she deserves the most.

Kid, you adore coloring pages and color. You and millions of other children have free coloring pages, coloring books, and printable coloring pages. You spend 30 minutes every day with coloring and drawing activities. So I?ll give you a braggin? Rights present. You?ll discover:1. Color is part of Light two.

1. Color is part of Light

Light is formed by the sun, fire or manmade stuff like bulbs and flashlights. You typically see the same colours people see. Beasts, bugs, and birds eyeball colours differently than you. You and a spider look at a ball. It?s still a ball but the color seems differently. Red, blue, and green light are the backbone of all colours. Your crayon colours are made of pigments.

2.

The ball sucks all of the light in – soaks up it like a bath towel.

2. The ball shoots the light back to you – reflecting like a flashlight on a mirror. Or

3.

Pay attention, boy : Light slams ( you can?t hear the slamming ) into the ball and if all of the light shoots back at you white is the color you see. That?s called reflected light. We could say red, green and blue lights slam into the ball. The ball sucks underwater and green lights. That?s called absorbed light. The blue light shoots back at you. You see the reflecting blue color.

Here?s one : The rottweiler?s fur sucks in ( soaks up ) all of the red, blue and green light slamming into it.

No colours are shot back at you. You see black fur. If you see color the fur isn’t totally black. Last One : Your momma?s crystal sparkles. The light slams into it and comes out the opposite side ( broadcasting ). Hold the glass before another color – say purple – you?ll see purple in the glass. If you drop the crystal – hold up a damaged piece before momma’s face you?ll see red in the glass.

You did good kid. You discovered:

+ Color is part of light.

+ Color soaks up, reflects and transmits.

+ Eyeballs and brains help see color.

CHICAGO, IL   Classic, fine art oil painter, Susi Franco, could choose to paint just about anything in the world.  But, this popular, contemporary American artist sees beauty in wet, dewy fruits, and fresh, crisp vegetables.

The artist recently posted a series of small, original oil paintings to her DiscoveredArtists.com  online art gallery that would make a chef’s heart beat fast with desire.  Especially because these fine art originals are priced at only $65 each.

Franco who uses old world, classic techniques, refers to the series of paintings as her “juicy little color study” where the artist’s challenge is to recreate nature with brush and paint.

But, the expressionist painter goes a step further and adds her own interpretation of what she sees.  These fruits and veggies are perfect!  They are blemish-free, wax-like, idealized portraits of the real thing.

For example, Franco’s painting; Some Tomato! shows a beefsteak beauty that is rounder, brighter, smoother, redder and more firm and juicy than any tomato grown on earth.

And her painting, titled Rabbit Heaven which is carrots, of course, depicts bright orange veggies that are free of those awful, little white hairs, problematic bumps, curves and bends.  A cook’s dream to peel and a breeze to julienne.

The 6″ x 6″ paintings are original oils on stretched canvases, and although created primarily by the artist as an artistic exercise, have decorative value as well.

For a chef or a cook who loves to dream about the ideal tomoto, one of these little beauties could become his favorite kitchen pin up.  There’s no guarantee that they taste as good as they look, but it’s guaranteed they’ll always look picture-perfect and stay fresh forever.

Some Tomato! by fine artist Susi Franco is a 6″ x 6″ x 1″ original oil on gallery wrap canvas and is ready to hang.  The painting, and others in the series, is available for purchase for $65 directly from the Artist at DiscoveredArtists.com

Gel candle making has enjoyed a surge in popularity in the past few years. It is easier than traditional candle making, requiring few ingredients and some simple instructions. The hardest decisions are ones based on personal taste: what kind of container do you want to use, do you want to add color to your gel and what scent do you want to use.

Gel wax has greatly changed the world of candle making. With its transparency the possibilities are limited only by your imagination and the speed with which it sets makes producing large numbers of candles less time consuming than with traditional candles.

Making gel candles uniquely individual is one of the most appealing aspects of the process. The only thing that has to be taken into consideration is that containers must be used, unless of course the time is taken to make unique molds as well.

Gel candles can be made using seashells from vacations, coins from travels around the world, even beer cap collections can be used to make personalized candles. They can be tinted using dyes and scented using fragrant oils.

Materials

Before you begin making the candles you need to assemble your materials. The most expensive part of the process is the gel wax itself. You will need:

• Gel wax
• Glass containers – use your imagination, shot glasses, martini glasses, fish bowls;
• Fragrant oils – if you want to add scent;
• Dye – if you want your candles colored;
• Wick – the length of which is determined by the height of your container; use wax coated wicks for gel candles, not paper wicks.
• Décor for putting in the candle if desired.

You should also have a pot or kettle to melt and pour the gel from. Camping equipment is an excellent place to find a sturdy kettle to use. It will stand up to the repeated heating.

Making Your Candles

First you need to make sure that your containers are very clean and dry. Any residue or foreign materials that remain inside the container can cause your gel wax not to set properly.

You will need to melt you gel; however, you must keep an eye on the gel as it is melting as it can reach its flash point very quickly and be on fire before you know it. Using a thermometer is the best way to insure that you don’t exceed the recommended temperature. Also, do not under any circumstances whatsoever melt the gel in the microwave, it is very dangerous.

If you are going to color your gel you can do this after the gel has melted. Test the color by pouring a small spoon of it on a sheet of white paper, if the color is darker than you want it, add more gel, if it is lighter than you want it, add more dye.

This is also the time to add fragrant oil if you want to make scented candles. Again, add more if you aren’t satisfied with the odor and if it has too much smell add more gel to the mix.

You are now ready to position your wick. The method you use will depend on how precise you want your candles to be. If you are giving them for gifts and don’t want bubbles, you will want to use the pencil method. If you are making them for yourself and don’t mind some bubbles use the easier, hot glue method.

The hot glue method entails using hot glue to secure the wick to the bottom center of the container. As the wax is poured in, it will react with the glue and cause some bubbles.

The pencil method requires filling the container with wax, dipping the wick in the wax, removing the excess wax from the wick and rolling it around a pencil. Position the pencil over the container with the wick in the center and dropping it down into the gel. When the gel cools cut the wick no longer than 1/4 inch.

If you are adding embellishments to your gel candle you should dip them in wax and arrange them in the container before you pour the wax in the container. You should also arrange them closer to the outer edge to make them visible.

Enjoy

Once your candles set you are now ready to enjoy your candles. Gel candle making is not a difficult process and can make beautiful gifts to share with your friends and family, during holidays or just because you want to share your newfound talent.

Please help me! I want to find a certain kind of oil candle.?

A long time ago I went into a home decor store, and they had these candles in there that were so gorgeous. I don’t know if they were oil or liquid parafin, but it was a clear liquid inside a glass container and it had a wick inside it. And there were things like dried fruits and flowers and herbs inside the glass container with the oil and the wick. Do any of you know a store that sells these? I’d really like to be able to find a place online that sells them.

try ebay…. i think they are parafin…..

Step One: Start by turning off the power to the fixture’s circuit at the service panel.

Step Two: When you remove the fixture base on a wall or ceiling-mounted fixture, or the cover plate on a strip fluorescent fixture, test the wiring to verify that the power is indeed off. Probe each set of insulated wires with one lead of a neon tester and the metal box or grounding wire with the other. If the tester lights, the power is still on.

Step Three: Remove the screws or cap nuts that secure a globe or glass light shade.

Step Four: Remove the screws or cap nuts that secure the fixture, fixture body or canopy to the outlet box. Support the full weight of a heavy fixture during this step and the next. Get help for a heavy one, especially if you are working overhead from a ladder.

Step Five: With the wiring in the outlet box now accessible, repeat the power test described in step 2. When you’ve confirmed that there’s no power in the outlet box, remove the wire connectors that join the fixture wires to the house. If the fixture body is grounded, remove the screw or nut that secures the grounding (green) wire.

Step Six: You must secure fixtures that weigh over 50 lbs. (23 kg) independently of the electrical box. If you have access from above, install wood bridging between the joists above the box. Then screw the box into the bridging from below. If you don’t have access to install a support from above, purchase retrofit mounting hardware for a ceiling fan and install it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step Seven: Compare new mounting-hole requirements with the existing provisions at the outlet box. If necessary, purchase a new mounting strap or a universal mounting plate, which will accommodate virtually any fixture.

Step Eight: Connect the new fixture to the same wires that connected the old fixture, and mount the fixture to the box with screws or cap nuts as required. Create a loop in the wires with long-nose pliers, then wrap them clockwise under a terminal screw. Or use electrician’s pliers to twist the wires from a prewired fixture together with the house wires, then secure them with wire nuts. Cut off excess with wire cutters.

Decorative ceramics are a wonderful home accent for a wide variety of reasons. While some homeowners and interior decorators might not know exactly the history, name of the artist, or even what kind of decorative ceramics they are working with, all one really needs to know is one thing – how they want to decorate their home with the ceramic piece. The wide variety of colors available on decorative ceramics allows homeowners and decorators to work with any color palette available. Whatever color scheme you might want to use you will be able to find a perfect match and a variety of types of ceramic pieces.

Often times, when decorating a room, price become a factor. However, with decorative ceramics, the prices can range form the extremely affordable to very pricey items so it is a very flexible item to use in your home accents. Depending on where you look, there is a price tag that can meet all tastes. Of course, if you go to a dealer and “must have” a certain artist’s name, or a particular style or era, you may pay a higher price due to the specific request. Besides price, decorative ceramics are also perfect for home accents because of their timelessness.

Regardless of the season, decorative ceramics work because their artistic representations they bear are quality art pieces in and of themselves. Whether it is snowing outside, or whether the thermometer is pleading for mercy from the sun, decorative ceramics fit the season as wonderful accents for your home. Good art is good art when it is brand new. As it ages, it becomes classic Ceramic art. Decorative ceramics often adorn some of the highest quality art available. If it is a piece by a “name” within the art world it just appreciated all the much more. Go with pieces of course that are of your particular taste and not just the mere price tag, as the piece will not reflect your personality, unless you are a collector and have already established a more versatile collection of ceramics. However, with the wide range of artist’s and their capabilities ensures that there is something available for anyone’s tastes.

Versatility is another astounding factor of using ceramics as home accents. If you use decorative ceramics in a particular room, and three months down the road you decide to change the color scheme, pieces are easy to move, mix, match with others, or trade with other collectors.

Most pieces are relatively small and easy enough to move around for almost anyone. Vases, paperweights, and kitchen ceramics tend not to be as awkward to work with as large portraits or some sculptures. However, the biggest reason decorative ceramics are such a popular type of home accent is simply their beauty and their Italian Mosaics. No matter whom the artist, or the period the piece may come from, ceramics are imbued with the best art an artist has in mind. The colors, shapes of, and images used add a pleasant sense of comfort and luxury to any home. Three dimensional art just appeals to so many that a simple oil painting cannot compare. Italian Ceramics have a beauty no compares with other kind of ceramics, their Hand painted ceramics are so delicate and so cute.

As most people know, chrome is most seen in the kitchen and in the bathroom.  You will more than likely see chrome in the fixtures in the bathroom or the sink itself will be chrome.  If you don’t like the dull look of chrome in your bathroom, try adding a black wooden mirror frame that will compliment the chrome. 

If the kitchen is more your favorite place for chrome, then a nice chrome stove will give your kitchen a whole new look.  Many people are afraid to put a nice chrome stove in their kitchen thinking that their kitchen will look too industrial.  But you can add special touches like a wooden shelf above the stove and hang some copper pots from the ceiling.  Another great idea to offset the chrome is to use fabrics such as curtains in the window and tablecloths on the kitchen table.  If you are one of the ones who believe that chrome is harsh, then offset it by using materials that are soft such as sheepskin on your chairs.  Now to add color to the kitchen, a blue table cloth or blue curtains would be the perfect choice.  Chrome looks best when paired with deep colors such as maroon, dark blue or forest green. 

The metallic color of silver can spruce up any home.  Now you may be thinking that you can’t match silver with anything and your home with look like a decorated Christmas tree.  Or you may think that silver will make your home look like a hospital.  But this simply isn’t the case.  For a spectacular looking dining room, a black iron dining table with black iron chairs and a glass tabletop pair well with silver upholstered chairs. 

Let’s take a look now at some specific decorating tips for you to use if you are interested in using metallic color accents in your color design. 

Candle holders- Imagine the beautiful glow of a candle held in a metallic colored candle holder.  For colors such as blue or green, choose a holder that is silver or chrome.  On the other hand, you will want to use gold or bronze holders for colors such as orange or red. 

Appliances- For a great look in your kitchen, try using all steel appliances such as stove, refrigerator and toaster. 

Furniture- There is nothing that makes you living room or front porch look more stunning than wrought black iron coffee table or sliver side tables with glass tops.

A debenture is an unsecured loan you offer to a company. The company does not give any collateral for the debenture, but pays a higher rate of interest to its creditors. In case of bankruptcy or financial difficulties, the debenture holders are paid later than bondholders. Debentures are different from stocks and bonds, although all three are types of investment. Let us discuss about different types of investment options for small investors and entrepreneurs.

Debentures vs. Stocks:

When you buy stocks, you become one of the owners of the company. Your fortunes rise and fall with that of the company. If the stocks of the company soar in value, your investment pays off high dividends, but if the stocks decrease in value, the investments are low paying. Higher the risk you take, higher the rewards you get.

Debentures are more secure than stocks, in the sense that you are guaranteed payments with high interest rates. You are paid an interest on the money you lend the company until the maturity period, after which whatever you invested in the company is paid back to you. The interest is the profit you make from debentures. While stocks are for those who like playing the field, and are willing to take risks for the sake of high returns, debentures are for people who want a safe and secure income.

Debentures vs. Bonds:

Debentures and bonds are similar except for one difference – bonds are more secure than debentures. In case of both, you are paid a guaranteed interest that does not change in value irrespective of the fortunes of the company. However, bonds are more secure than debentures, but carry a lower interest rate. The company provides collateral for the loan. Moreover, in case of liquidation, bondholders will be paid off before debenture holders.

A debenture is more secure than a stock, but not as secure as a bond. In case of bankruptcy, you have no collateral you can claim from the company. To compensate for this, companies pay higher interest rates to debenture holders.

All investment, including stocks bonds or debentures carry an element of risk. If you are unsure of the investment options that are best for your business, then you can consult a small business consultant who will guide you to the best investment options available to you. Investing wisely today can pay heavy dividends tomorrow.

Makeshift candlestick holder?

Hey people, does anyone have any ideas for a homemade candlestick holder? I’m thinking of play-do at the moment, but it wouldn’t look too classy. I don’t have any empty wine bottles.

Fruit works well and arranged right can make a very nice centerpiece too. Just use a paring knife to remove enough pulp to set the candle firmly in it. You can also skin the bottom to make it level and arrange on a large plater with other fruits and foliage added as accents.

The days of the plain white sheet are over. Now I personally prefer the feel of a crisp, freshly washed white bed sheet. For those folks who want a little something more from their waterbed the proverbial white sheet may not be decorative enough. The good news is that waterbed sheets and bedding items such as quilts have really come a long way and are now available in many different styles, prints and colors.

Color choices have never been greater and can include color hues from the subtle to the loud and bright. The fabric can sometimes determine the color if you choose sheets woven from such materials as bamboo and hemp. Unlike traditional cotton, bamboo and hemp are more environmentally friendly.

In many parts of the world cotton growing can involve the use of chemical pesticides and herbicides. Bamboo and hemp can be grown without the use of these chemicals. Bamboo and hemp sheets are often blended with cotton fiber.

More and more consumers are opting to go with one hundred percent organic fabrics. When looking at waterbed sheets woven from organically grown materials, always ask for a certificate that guarantees the source of the fabric. Cotton, bamboo and hemp fabrics are all available from organically grown raw fibers.

Cotton and cotton blend waterbed sheets can be found in an incredibly wide variety of colors. In addition to color choices, prints and patterns can be found to fit almost any style of home and room decor. Gaining in popularity are bed linens that are with dyes that derived primarily from plant sources and other natural pigments.

Shopping online has provided consumers with a means of comparing prices and styles in a way not possible before widespread use of the internet. If you were lucky enough to live near a retail outlet that sold quality waterbed sheets, the selection may be somewhat limited. Online shopping is convenient and the choices available are greater than ever before.

Quality websites will include full color examples of their products. The descriptions that sellers use to depict color choices are almost as varied as the colors themselves. Colors like bubblegum pink, corn silk gold and blueberry are just some of the fun ways sellers are marketing colors.

A style of bedding that is gaining in popularity is nature prints. Imagine bringing the beauty and diversity of Mother Nature into your home and sleeping space. The incredible variety of flora and fauna found in nature can be seen on many popular websites.

Animals and plants are featured in various prints that can range from the funny to the sublime. Imagine climbing into bed with koala bears, sleeping with jungle cats, dreaming with penguins or waking to the sight of a mother panda and her cub.

Pet fanciers can find bedding that features their animal favorites. Poodle sheets are not just for children anymore as more and more adults succumb to novelty of waterbed sheets that show off their favorite cat or dog breed. Name a domesticated species of dog and it is probably available in a sheet pattern for your waterbed.

Also gaining in popularity are jungle prints that can feature all manner of jungle flora and fauna. Leopard spots, zebra stripes and many other animal prints can adorn your waterbed.

If you fancy landscapes or seascapes, you can find those too. From lighthouses and old barns to green forests and fields of wild flowers, the days of the plain old sheet have been long gone.

Playful colors and wacky prints can brighten any decor. So why let the kids have all the fun. Online shopping makes going a little bit wild easier then ever before. So before you settle for plain white, blue or green, express your wild side the next time you shop for waterbed sheets.

With etching cream, you definitely need a stencil.
If you have the time and a real steady hand, you can do the following:
• Write out what you want to stencil in a pretty font on your computer and print it out. Try not to get real intricate, because this process includes cutting out the letters.
• Take it to a Kinko’s or other full-service copy shop and have it transferred to clear acetate.
• Cut out the black areas in the acetate with an X-acto or thin hobby knife. Ta-da! You have a stencil.
Hope that helps.

If you live close to an Ikea, check there – they sell many things cheaper and better designed than Wal-mart or even Target.

Also, if you are doing lots of shopping at BB&B, remember to use the 20% off coupon. I get one in my sunday paper every week, and most people I know get them in the mail as well. With all of the things you have listed, you could save $90.

Another thing you could do is create your own wall art. You can go to an art store and buy a blank canvas and some paints and do an abstract art piece – or you could even cover it with patterned fabric if you aren’t into painting. Or be your own photographer – take some photos of your friends, family, pets, or favorite things around town, get a few prints at Walgreens and put them in a big frame with a thick mat. You will have original and unique art that is much cheaper than what you can buy in the store.

If you want to send out a unique Halloween invitation, why not make one yourself? Cost-efficient and eye-catching cards are made with cheap materials, ones you could buy from the corner store. This includes cards, thread, crayons, and even candles!

A unique Halloween invitation would involve the use of less than conventional materials. For example, have you thought about using candle wax? Candles have been associated with the Halloween season since the olden days. Nowadays you could buy candles that are shaped like familiar Halloween figures, such as the Jack-o-lantern (you don’t need to carve a pumpkin, if your candle is already shaped like one!), a witch’s broomstick, or a small bat.

But you don’t need fancy candles to make a cost-efficient Halloween invitation. A regular old red candle will do. Light the candle and allow it to melt a bit, then place some drops of red wax onto a spot on the front of the card. Let it dry. This would make it look like a few drops of blood have been left on the card, as a sort of “calling card” from beyond!

Feel free to shape the drops of wax anyway you want. You could make the drops in the shape of a familiar Halloween motif, such as a pumpkin or a bat, and use candles that are of other colors besides red. Black and orange candles should be easier to find in shops this season.

Just make sure that your card is hard enough to hold the wax! Flimsy sorts of paper, such as thin book paper, is not recommended for this technique. And of course, you should be careful not to leave lit candles unattended. These could be the cause of tragic fire-related accidents. Be careful also not to get hot melted wax onto your skin. Don’t allow children to play with melted wax without adult supervision, or to try and make wax decorations on their own!

Another way to use wax in order to make a unique Halloween invitation is to buy liquid wax (or solid blocks of wax for making homemade candles) and aluminum molds. Molds that are flat on one or both sides could create not only gorgeous candles, but fun giveaways as well! You could pour wax into the mold and make wax figurines, like cats or bats – they don’t have to be turned into candles if you don’t want them to. Simply fill in the molds solidly with wax, and forego adding the wicks. Make sure to observe safety precautions, and to closely follow the instructions on the molds and the liquid wax, if there are any!

Once the wax has cooled, place the figurine on top of a piece of paper. Trace the edges and cut out the piece of paper that will fit exactly on top of the flat side of your wax figurine. You can then write or paste on that piece of paper the details for your Halloween invitation. This is definitely a unique Halloween invitation idea that your guests would want to safekeep!

Candle making is becoming a widely accepted craft all over the world. It is enjoyed by people of different ages who either want to engage in the industry and create their own business or those who simply are in for the fun of it. This is not surprising because our fascination with candles has not yet stopped. It only became even greater as the years passed and tons of candle making ideas went about. Candles are now so much more than a lighting material. It is used to express feelings of love, joy and grief. With the many improvements made to it like adding special scents and decorative materials, candles are also lit by anyone who wants to relax and have a feeling of warmth. Some are even content with merely looking at the beautiful candles.

The industry has not failed to introduce a wide range of candle making ideas for the enthusiasts and for those who are just starting out with the craft. Everything, of course, begins with the materials that are needed to come out with every piece. The most basic is the wax which now comes in an array of colors and textures for ever more attractive candle surfaces. Different equipment has also been introduced like electric pots and pickers to promote efficiency and safety to the person who is making the candles. Designs are also a fascination to candle makers nowadays. They range from the dainty ones to the most glamorous and elegant but if this is given to you as a gift, you will have difficulty in using it because it looks good unused in the display rack.

Just by looking around, one can grasp the most interesting candle making ideas. It only takes some sort of creativity to make up the best candles for your own use or for sale in the market. One should only remember that while design and aesthetics make a candle attractive and valuable, the quality and function and every piece should still be given primary consideration.

Where can I find Voluspa Candles?

Hello.
I’ve been looking for the irresistible Voluspa candles everywhere and haven’t been able to find them. I received the Cardamon Fig as a gift a few months ago. I know they can be found in certain shops in CA and NY, but I live in Okla. and the only place for me to get to them is online. I tried to get them cheap on ebay, but I had an experience from hell with the seller and ended up empty-handed. So, if anyone knows of any known boutique or store that sells them, I’ll greatly appreciate the information.

I can tell you that they’re very exclusive. You may only be able to get em online unless you’re planning your next trip to California. Try CandleDelirium.com; that’ where I get mine, it’s a reasonabel price for the shipping too. Good luck!

actually mine worked for a while, from bath and body works. and then I took half the reeds out and put them in a glass of water, they releasesd scent again…

and so now I mix them between two rooms, everyonce in a while putting them in the oil, and ohter half time in water…

if you have any fans on or air circulating, I think it pushes the smell away so you don’t notice it as much.

good luck.

Your special day has finally arrived and you have made it so that this is a day that you won’t soon forget. Why not make it a day that your guests won’t forget any time soon too? The best way to do this is by handing out memorable wedding favors, the ones you’ve wanted and been looking for all this time. If they have a memento from your ceremony to keep for all time, it makes it much harder for them to get it off this special event off their minds. Quite possibly, some of the best wedding favors you could buy on the market are a candle wedding favors. They are fun and practical, and nobody will soon forget that wedding night.

A candle wedding favor is considered one of the most romantic ones available. After all, what spells romance more than scented candles on a hot summer night steaming up the room? That is why you want to make sure that you get the best candle wedding favors that you can find. You can get your candles in many different aromas. You choose the one that you want to be remembered by. If you want your wedding to be remembered for being very much “by the book” then you should be giving out vanilla scented candles. If your wedding was very much “out there,” then chose a scent that is very much in the same category. Maybe something like a passion fruit scent would work.

Not only can you choose what scent you want your candle wedding favor to be, but you can also choose what shape you can have it in. If you had your wedding on the beach and in the sand, wouldn’t it make sense to have candle wedding favors in the shape of palm trees, boats, starfish or shells? If your wedding was very traditional, you could have your candle wedding favors in the shape of a wine or champagne glass, with the wax being the same color as a fine wine. There are also variations of this that come in coffee mugs, teacups, shot glasses and beer mugs.

As you can see, there are many different candle wedding favor options that are readily available to you whenever you are ready to walk down the aisle. All you really have to know beforehand is the theme of the wedding and how creative you would like to be with the candles. This is your wedding, which should be a special and exciting time for you so treat it like one for every aspect of the planning.

Green tea and black tea contain the same amount of caffeine, as both come from the Camellia sinensis plant. A standard cup of tea contains less than half the level of caffeine of a typical cup of instant coffee. One cup of tea contains only around 10-50mg of caffeine whilst a cup of instant coffee contains between 60-100mg per 250ml cup.

Jasmine tea uses Green teas as its base so personally I wouldn’t recommend having it before bed if you are sensitive to caffeine. I have Chamomile tea at home… it doesn’t contain caffeine and is a very soothing tea to have before bed, you should try that instead.

Wedding invitations are affected by general trends, and there is no reason to think that 2009 will be any different. Some of the trends of 2009 are continuations of the popular ideas of 2008, while other trends are just beginning to gain popularity. When designing your wedding invitations, choose what you like best, and leave behind what you do not. It is important that you design an invitation that reflects the style of you and your future spouse. While you may undoubtedly want to be aware of what is popular and what is not when making your choices, there is no reason to choose something because of its popularity. Instead, use these ideas as starting points when designing your dream wedding invitation.

Continue to save the date

Save the date cards continue to be a popular addition to the wedding invitations package.

These cards especially come in handy if you are planning a wedding in June, September or around the holidays, since they are traditionally busy times of the year. A save the date card should be sent out as early as possible. This allows your guests to avoid making plans for that day. Many invitations come with a specific save the date card that coordinates when the celebration will take place. Choosing coordinated save the date cards and invitations means making a decision early on about which design you are going to use. It also adds a nice level of customizations to your invitations.

Color, color, color

Whether bold or subtle, color is a big part of wedding invitations in 2009. Modern printing techniques make it easier than ever to add color from the writing on the envelope lining to the card stock. Colors that were once used primarily for contemporary invitations, has become so widespread that even the most traditional wedding invitations currently use these colors.

Extending a Theme

Does your wedding have a theme? Whether you are having an outdoor wedding, a candlelight service or a wedding on the beach, you can customize your invitations to include some mention of the theme. Confetti in your envelopes or a simple candle drawing on the front of the invitations is an easy way to integrate your theme into your wedding invitations.

Do it yourself invitations

Many people have become taken with the idea of do it yourself invitations. Do it yourself invitations allow you to save some money when planning your wedding, but they also allow you greater control over your finished product. Do it yourself invitations are a great way to create a 100% customized look for your invitations while still keeping control of your budget.

Destination invitations

More and more, couples are choosing destination weddings as a low stress way to have a memorable wedding ceremony. If you are planning a destination wedding, choosing an invitation that is made specifically for the occasion is a great way to provide your guests with a memento of the event as well as being certain that all the invitation provides all of the information they will need to plan their trip.

Adding a photograph

Adding a photograph to your wedding invitations is another choice that may be popular in 2009. As stated before, technology has made this an easy option. Adding a photograph of the happy couple is a wonderful way to personalize your invitations without adding a great deal to the cost of the invitations.

Couples invitations

More and more, men are becoming involved in the planning of the wedding. In the past, weddings were typically planned by the bride, her mother and her friends. Today, it is common for the groom to have an interest and opinion on all parts of the ceremony. Couples invitations are a way to display this relationship, and will become more popular in 2009.

Adding a favor

A small favor added to your invitation is becoming a more popular option. If you are having a theme or destination wedding, including a favor is a great way to add some needed information. For the theme wedding, a small candle for a candlelight service is a thoughtful touch. For a beach vacation, a small tote bag with information from the area chamber of commerce is a thoughtful choice. While adding favors to the wedding invitations is a thoughtful touch, and becoming more popular, the cost can add up quickly. Adding favors to invitations typically works best if you are planning a small ceremony, and expect most of your invitees to attend.

Personalize your wedding stationery

Personalization is another area that has been improved greatly by technology. New methods of printing have made many more options available than ever before. This means that the engaged couple can add ribbons, pictures and trinkets, not to mention colored fonts, customized edgings and many other options to stock invitations. This allows standard invitations to look completely personalized.

Colors as neutrals

While adding color as a bold statement has become increasingly popular, color as a neutral is becoming more common as well. This means that a traditional invitation may be pastel pink rather than ivory, or mint green rather than white. Using colors as neutrals continues to grow in popularity as more people become accustomed to seeing colors as part of the wedding invitations.

The Japanese have a tradition of sending a small candle lit balloon aloft?

Does anyone know what the details of the tradition are and how the paper balloons are made

If you are talking about lanterns that float in the SKY, those are chinese, although the japanese do it now too, like many asian countries.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kongming_lantern

http://www.flying-lanterns.co.uk/japanese-Lantern-Festival.html

To make one, anything that is extremely light (tissue paper) will work, and then use bamboo strips or wire to hold the heat source at the bottom so it does not catch the “skin” on fire. Here is a Youtube video at random:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnGLSDEihqE&playnext_from=PL&feature=PlayList&p=3C433BFDA05FB3C6&playnext=1&index=94

If you are talking about the Japanese, originally it was floating lanterns on water for the Obon Festival, the Japanese buddhist festival of the dead (the day to honor your dead ancestors who are thought to come back home during Obon). There are a lot of traditional ceremonies, such as participatory dancing around a central platform (“Bon Odori”), food offerings (fruit, manju..a formal japanese dessert made with sweetened rice flour and filled with sweet azuki beans) to the ancestors in the home shrine, and “Toro Nagashi” which is the tradition of launching a floating paper lantern with a candle onto the water, usually a river that flows into the sea. The ritual is to help ancestors return back to the spirit world at the end of Obon. In the USA, Hawaii is the best state to experience Obon festivals (particularly Honolulu) followed by states on the west coast. The floating lantern ceremony has also been expanded to honor the dead on other occasions, such as Memorial Day in Honolulu. To make one, a thin, flat piece of styrofoam, tissue or rice paper and four thin stakes, write ancestor name with message on lantern and voila your done!
