 I love that as it gets darker earlier I can finally take part in my personal ritual of lighting candles. The votive from above is from my coffee shop days. I took them home when the owner sold the business.  So this some thing so simple to spruce up those clear glass jars. Original I had the black and white tape around another candle. When that one was finished I took my tape back and wanted to reuse it a festive way. So I torn into pieces and made a simple snowflake. Just four pieces of tape. First I made an X , then added one vertically and horizontally. I love the intercepting pattern in the center as well. I'm sure I've seen other tutorials that use washi tape but I don't think I've seen this before. Correct me if I'm wrong please, so I can credit. If you decide to give this a try, please share your pictures! I'd love to see them. xo Alicia

I've followed Little Ink's blog Little Raven Ink  for a while now. When I saw this video I knew I wanted to join in. Give it a try, especially if you think you can't draw!   Here are my first attempts:   I'm making more little creatures before I move onto the next video, where you practice coloring them. Yay, see ya!   xo Alicia
