Project SNOWFLAKE! Create gifts with Dollar Store Candles - Mixed Media Monday

I personally love handmade gifts.  They don’t always have to be big elaborate gifts, sometimes, it’s just nice to give a small – “Hey, I’m thinking of you” kinda gift!.  These candles from the Dollar Store are perfect to keep on hand when you need to give a little something.  During the winter season, I love decorating with snowmen and snowflakes and how easy it is to do with the dies from Spellbinders!
