I’ve been pulling out my Valentine’s Day decorations and came across the supplies for a craft I had intended last year.  (So typically me, I won’t mention how often this happens…)  I had picked up these little candles at Ikea on one of my last trips.  They’re just a couple dollars each and perfect for decorating.

So very, very cute!  Right now, I have the candles sitting on my window sill, but I’ll move them over to the table for our traditional family Valentine’s Day dinner.
