♥ Whatcha Working on Wednesday ♥

The first Wednesday of the new year...neat huh? I really believe this year is going to be alot better for us than the last, I think people have a better attitude then they did in 08 and I think it's called HOPE!!! I've been doing alot of thinking?...no, just a change in my own attitude to better myself and to lose these 15 lbs that I almost lost then gained back and to excercise more also to excercise even when the holidays roll around again!

I havn't posted since Friday because I've been cleaning everyday it's just amazing how much dust settles in a month so I bought myself a Swifter duster and I love it! I remember Linda mentioning it in one of her posts so I thought I'd give it a try...it is great for those small places that you can't reach and it worked great on the iron work of my sewing machine cabinet which I always hated to dust, so give one a try I think you will love it too:)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is what I've been working on in between cleaning frenzies...there are 12 pennies and I have 8 done, I found a place for it on the bench that Michele gave me for Christmas with the Macintosh Yankee candle Michael and Corrie gave me on it. I love the look of it and it's right beside my computer which makes it so nice to sit and smell the fragrance of it. I think it looks colonial and prim:) When I get done with the rest of the pennies I'm going to start some stitcheries, I've missed doing them:) Now here is a question for you...how do I remove the candle wax in this large jar? I used the jar as a vase so there is also some grassey stuff in it I want to put a label on it that I bought a bunch from a lady on ebay:)

Here they are ( I'm still fooling and using different settings on my camara so bare with me:) So many neat ones to put on jars...I did buy two other jars at Walmart but I'm going to return them and get another big jar because of the size of the labels. I could cut them to size but then you would be cutting off the burnt edges which make them look so neat and old.

I bought them from Yankeelaneprimitives I recieved 16 for 9.87 and the shipping was free, I always look for that:) I didn't save her in my ebay sellers so here is the item no. TLOFA260333953865 I think this will get you to her if you want to look at what she has! She also includes instructions for grunging the jar and I'm going to try it I know I said that all of last year and this year I'm going to do it♥

Have a wonderful day... it's raining here, has been for two days but I know Ican't wait to get our very first snow storm, just one that's all I want.lol

Stop over at Leslie's to see who else has been busy:)

Update...I have the jar in the freezer and keeping it in till tomorrow...thanks for all your great advice.
