A little gift from Canada to the USA on how to enjoy winter with the family...because we care.

1. You can actually make cute outdoor candles by filling a 2 litre plastic coke bottle with water (and

color). Sit it outside until it half freezes (only around the edges). Tear the plastic bottle off without breaking the ice. Pour the water out. Place a lit candle into the centre of the ice (which remains unfrozen). Must be placed outside in the snow (for safety reasons).

3. Gorgeous!

4. I'm such a color person.

[cwydro]

5. I am too.

I love stained glass...just any kind of pretty colors. Sun catchers, small bottles...anything.

It's on my FB page now, so thanks!

6. I love flowered chintz, green glassware, painting a wall or furniture, jewel colored throw pillows.

8. My mom just gave me a beautiful ruby red tiny bottle.

I'll try to get a pic of it tomorrow. I love green and blue glassware too.

I keep all the small things in a window that gets the sun.

9. I have my green glassware on display but I never thought of putting them in the window. I have a

kitten right now, so I will have to hold off in doing that. But I'll keep it in mind.

10. Ha! Yes,

I still have a pretty dark blue bluebird that mom gave me years ago.

It is missing its tail thanks to one of my cats.

Several of my glass treasures have those sort of nicks. Very difficult to protect glass from cats lol. And they KNOW what you treasure too...then they go up and stalk around them as you hold your breath. They're quite capable of NOT breaking anything.

So when they do...hmmm.

11. Oh knocking things down from heights is definitely a fun game with my kitten.

[cwydro]

13. Especially when they are perfectly

able to NOT do that.

And they know WE know they are completely able to avoid what they want to avoid!

Watch a cat go outside after a rainstorm - every puddle is carefully noticed and the maneuvers begin!

I do love cats ❤️

14. Oh yes. Avoids all the digital candles (also different colors - there

is actually a digital wand to change the colors of the candles), but all my breakable things, large and small, get knocked off. So far Barnacle has destroyed a china goose watering jug and a china frog.Something about the loud noise these thing make as he pushes them off the mantle. I have a large wall hanging he currently grabs and hangs off of at least once a day. That at least will not break when it finally loses the battle with my kitten.
