There's a whole host of very talented bloggers taking part in the blog hop......with loads of ideas to share with you....and there's a mega PRIZE to be won for commenting on all the blogs......and if you're following the hop you should have arrived here from Dapfnie
from our front door February 2012
I have to admit that winter is not really my favourite time of year.....which is one reason why I love christmas so much......it something to really look forward to during the cold dark days...unless,of course, you live in the southern hemisphere!!!
But there's something else I love about winter....candles......I do burn them in the summer......but it's in the winter I really love them.....on a dark afternoon.....or by the fire on a cold evening......a few of them bunched together.......especially if they have wintery,spicy scents.
I'm also a bit of a hoarder......and whenever I have anything that comes in a little glass jar I keep the jar....they are the perfect size for tea light candles.....but maybe too plain.....let's see if we can transform them a bit.
I added some snowflake wired ribbon round the jar with a few tiny pieces of double sided tape.......added a punched newspaper snowflake.......and secured it all with some twine.

Very simple.....but a bit of an improvement,I think.
And looking lovely in a group lit up in the evening.

love the photo of the candles lit up in the dark!
wow you transformed those glass jars. They look wonderful x
very pretty, perfect for a winter's evening x
Oh Jacky, these are gorgeous - especially with the light shining through :)
They are soooo pretty!
love what you've done with the jars.
I'm not a winter fan either Jacky. But candles and Xmas are great!!!!
Wow, so simple and clever. They really look pretty.
They are very sweet by day, but once the candle is lit they transform into something beautiful!
Oooh, these look fantastic! So pretty all lit up in a group. Thanks for the tip! I miss candles, we don't use them so much since we had children who might grab them! But it makes it a real treat when they do come out.
Thanks so much for taking part in the blog hop! x
Very cute - I prefer the smell of candles when blown out - I know, I'm weird, I sniff new magazines, pulled crackers and popped poppers :)
love how your simple adornments totally transform those candle holders very sweet!
ooh what a gr8 idea and so simple.

Ooh, lovely! Your photos are so persuasive I think I might need to hunt out a nice candle and celebrate Friday evening with it right now :)
I love candles too. But I've kinda gotten out of the habit of having them around. You've made me miss it. I guess it's time to start up again. Thanks.
They look so beautiful all lit up. A great transformation Jacky :o)
I love your tea light holders.
Pretty candles. I buy them, but rarely light them!
Very Pretty indeed and with the light shining through it looks extra special
Oh that's so effective Jacky! Really pretty with the tea lights inside. Wouldn't have thought of using ribbon to decorate a little dish like that. Thanks for the idea!
Super project with the jars!! I have lots...can't throw anything away....will have to use some for this idea!!!
These are really sweet Jacky..I love candles in the winter too!

I love candles too ... in fact I have some lit now whilst blog hopping!! The decorated jars are gorgeous ... another project for my "to make" list!! x
Jacky, I have bags of tea lights and glass jars that I keep, I always know they will be useful one day.
I used to light candles regularly and seeing how stunning yours look lit with the ribbon decoration I am just going to have to dig them out and use them!! A lovely idea for my grand-girls to make for Christmas presents.
These are really lovely - I love candles too especially Yankee candles, I love all the Christmas scents especially the ones with vanilla and spice scents that fill the house with lovely baking smells (with none of the mess)
oooh, your candle holders are gorgeous! what a great idea!
What a cute idea, Jacky, and I just love the photo of your candles grouped and lit. Well done!
These are so beautiful lit and in a grouping! Thanks for sharing.
your candles glowing in the darkness are gorgeous! Fantastic idea!
Love your little glass jars!! Very pretty!
Those are gorgeous Jacky. It's funny, this year I'm really enjoying the fact that it gets dark early. It's a good reason to hunker down in the house with my family.

How beautiful! I've been keeping those jars too (mine were from naughty puddings) - I will definitely have a go at some of these for Christmas - thanks for the inspiration :o)
These are so lovely. They look really effective when lit up like that. x
Oh those are pretty - I do like candles to warm the soul in the dark evenings.
They look so beautiful lit - really special
Stunning idea, love the way they look when all lit up!
How pretty do they look?! Wonderful little jars, thanks for the idea.
Those jars look gorgeous. Especially once the candle has been lit. What a transformation!
Aren't those just wonderful when lit! Beautifully put together and photographed.
They look so beautiful with the tea lights in it :-)
Gorgeous project Jacky, might have to case this one:)
Those candle holders look lovely, it's such a great idea x
