*I got everything from the dollar store except for the 9001 glue

I bought that from Hobby Lobby.*

* 2 plates same size

*1 large plate *mine had a wide lip on it*

*2 glass candlesticks

*clear glue

Step 1.

Apply glue to the rim of smallest part of the candlestick

Step 2.

Apply the candlestick to the center of your largest plate

Step 3.

Apply glue to the rim of the larger part of the candlestick

Step 4.

Apply one of your smaller plates to the just glued rim

& add a sturdy book to help set the plate.

Step 5.

After you have let this set for 1hour, remove book

May's Sponsor~ Bubblewrapp'd

Ok I've been keeping this secret for a month now so here it goes....
Sponsors
I've been wanting to start having sponsors but I'm not the kind of person who just
comes out and asks people for things. So this was really hard for me.
 I've decided that I will have a Monthly Sponsor,
to spread the word / love of  homemade & Etsy.
Ill be featuring your Etsy shop & blog.
During that Month i'll do three blog post on you, have your button on my side bar,
share about you on my Facebook & Twitter, All of this for FREE. All I ask is
that you donate either shop credit or one item from your shop
so we can have a end of month GIVEAWAY.


**If anyone is interested in being next months sponsor shoot me a email**



I've known Andrea ever since she started her blog, and fell in LOVE
with her adorable shop!  I thought she would be PERFECT for
my May sponsor.

Everyone meet Andrea....

I am so excited to be a sponsor for Andrea this month! She has been so sweet to me since I started my shop/blog this year!

My name is Andrea (Yep! Another!). I am married to my hunky Hubby, and we have two sweet (and very loud and very crazy) boys.

I opened my Etsy shop in November 2010, and have been having so much fun with it!

I make wood blocks with words to make you smile, to motivate, inspire, and remind!

To celebrate my birthday, now through Wednesday, I am offering a 10% discount on any purchase at my shop! Just enter the code, "HAPPYBDAY11" at checkout!

Andrea, I am so excited to be here! Thanks so much for having me!
