Red, I just learned yesterday that the mail service in Eastern Washington was closed last Wednesday due to a wind storm. That may slow some deliveries from or to Idaho and Eastern Washington.

Thanks girls!
Linda .. I didn't hear about that! Thanks for letting me know. Whatever happened to, "Neither rain, nor wind or dead of night" motto? LOL ...

Check this lighted vase out at the craft store freebies girls. I think I need to make one of these for my dressing area.

No kidding, right??? I think she used a whole roll of strapping tape. Ha ha ha! So much fun!!!


Red, that's a pretty project for sure...to be honest, I've been a scaredy cat to do a project where lights and jars are combines...been worried that either, my cords will show and look tacky, or that if I try and put a hole in the bottom of jar, I'll bust the whole thing...I think they're gorgeous however...

My sister told me that I have a pkg waiting for me with "Do Not Open tell Dec 5th" I wonder what it could be?

Red -- the USPS never officially adopted that phrase as its motto, although most people believe it to be true. Here in my little corner of the world, we've been known to miss postal delivery during blizzards. However, for the most, they do live up to to that unofficial creed!

You make the hole in the bottom side of the jar, or just run it out the top, because the bow hides it anyway. I made my sister in laws each one years ago that had colored potpourri in with the white lights with a matching bow. They all still have them and use them in their powder room or bedrooms. The hole is made with a diamond drill bit. The hardware store sells them.

I think the ones I liked the best that I made were the ones with a real live plant in them, you rinse off the dirt and put them into water in the vase. You cover of the bottom half way up with the water. Then ... You put a live fish in there. My angel fish lived about four years like that. It was fun to see people when they saw a fish in there for the first time.

Thank you all so much for your PM's and kind words. They have truly been a comfort to me and I so appreciate you all. My kids and granddaughter's all left this morning to fly back home. Pretty quiet here now but we'll all be together again for the Christmas holiday in Washington. I'm looking forward to that.
Red- I received my package yesterday and according to tracking my partner has received hers also.
Again ladies, thank you for all your support and comforting words.
