Tea Lights - Baby Shower Favor

 

"Light this candle, on the night

Once the stork has made his flight.

With a flicker of the flame,

Please say a prayer in Sweetpea's name."

For part of the baby shower gifts we will be giving each person a little baggy with a few items in it. One of those items will be a small tea light candle, with a tag attached that says the short poem that I started this post with.

I wanted to make the tea lights a little more fun, girly and cute.

So I took different pink washi tapes that I had, and cut them to size.

I wrapped each tea light (whew I wrapped 100!) and I really think it made them a little more fun for the favor bags. 

 

This quick, easy and cheap DIY was just that. It was very quick, it took me less than 1 minute per tea light. It was easy, all I had to do was measure, cut and wrap. It was also cheap, the candles were from Walmart but you can buy them from the Dollar Tree as well. The washi tape was off brand and from the Dollar Tree, and that is all you need my friends!

If you make your own version of these fun tea lights, please share a picture of them in the comments below, or tag them on Instagram using #CreatingVirginiaAnne   

I would love to see your creations! 

I love Halloween Make-up!

 

Around this time of year, I am always checking out all the fun Halloween make-up that is on the shelves at CVS, Wal-Mart, Rite Aide, and anywhere else I go! I love all of the fun colors! This year I found colored mascara! How fun are these!? I have opened them and tried each one, AMAZING! I have never seen this brand before, but I didn't have any reactions to it, other than I l love it!  I am so excited to use these fun colors all throughout the year!

What a Hoot!

 Over the past few months, everywhere I go there are owls. Well, I have become obsessed with them! (almost as much as sock monkeys!)

almost. ;)

I saw this wine opener at CVS today, and I couldn't help but buy it! We aren't exactly huge wine drinkers in this house, but hey, at least we will have an adorable can opener to open the bottles with! haha. wow. how lame does that sound! Hey its still cute.

Just Couldn't Say No

 You know how when you go shopping sometimes, when you are standing at the register getting cashed out, the cashier starts offering good deals to you... usually I say no, however, at Dots, I just couldn't say no. These were 3 for $1.00!! And look at the fun sparkly colors!

 

I am already obsessed and you bet as soon as I got home I tested them out!

 

So Pretty!

 

 

I am a big collector of nail polish... as you can tell, between yesterday and today! ha!

Just Couldnt Help Myself

Yay for fall colors!

I love all 5 of these wonderful nail colors!

Okay, well only 4 colors, but I really needed a new top coat bottle, so I love it as well!

Like I do with all my beauty buys.. I tested them out as soon as I got home.

The top coat works amazingly! The teal is on my nails as I type this! The lilac is neutral and perfect for everything. The brown is perfect for this fall weather! and the beige is great for any day and any style. The neutral nude color is simple yet fun.
