  5. Gina is there no end to your creativity! I want to make some of those apples Donna posted on as well. I just love the way they look. Your table is going to be beautiful when you get it all done. All the trouble you have had with it will all be worth it in the end.

  7. Hi Gina,
    Looking forward to the end product (apples). I have found that some of the candle fragrances sold at Walmart are great! I really like some of the smells of their reed diffusers, too!

  9. Gina,
    I hope your table stops giving you troubles.
    I got the stuff to make the faux carmel apples last year when another blogger showed how to make them, but I never made any...going to dig them out and make some to take to my Fall show.
    Happy embroidering on the candle cozies!!

  10. Gina,
    Thank you so much for the "shout out"! That is so sweet of you and I am so honored that you (who is so much more talented than I could ever be!) learned something from me!! Wow! I cannot wait to see how yours turn out. I just love mine. And one of my most favorite candles is the Pumpkin Spice one from Wal Mart! I burn one on my tart warmer at work almost everyday. I am anxious to see your candle cozies.
    Hugs,
    Donna

  11. I've been looking for cheap fake apples since I saw the recipe from The Pickled Pepper Patch's blog a while ago, and somehow, I never even thought of checking Walmart. Derp! Haha.

    I wonder if you could, theoretically, scent them... I saw in your last post that that was the only thing missing, but maybe it's better that they don't smell so no ones tries to sink their teeth in them, haha.

    I'm hoping your goodie box comes today. The mailman doesn't come to my apartments until 4-5 in the afternoon, so I have to wait for him to even check. :(

    Have a lovely day! :D
