just because the christmas decor is packed away for another year... doesn't mean that a girl can't have fun spicing up her deck in january.  and so i did.

i made homemade ice candles.  yes i did.

i just used a couple of rubbermaid plastic food storage containers, filled with water, tinged the water with pink food coloring and stuck a candle in the center... and froze them.

then, of course the best part,  once it was dark outside and the ice containers were frozen... i popped them loose and lit them up! 

sure did make the evening cozy!

smile, wink, nod.
