Have you ever heard of them?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Polish paper chandeliers??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
well, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hadn't until I spied a most lovely one</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
over at <a href="http://feteetfleur.blogspot.com/2014/04/diy-mini-pajaki-paper-chandelier-and.html">Fete et Fleur's</a> blog</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I simply feel head over heels in love with the concept</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and was inspired to make one too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are many "diy" tutorials on these<br />
traditionally, they were made from straws and pieces of colored scrap paper<br />
but I wished to make mine using pearl white paper</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't believe that there is any one way to string them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
simply gather up a few pretty paper things and have fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and paper punched circles out</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of a pearl tissue sheet treated with wax paper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so when I sewed them together </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they would resemble illuminated capiz shells!</div>

I looked for plain pearl straws</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and would have even settled for plain white ones</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that I would have pearled myself</div>

I used these silver and white paper straws instead, </div>

incorporating tiny paper rose flowers between each straw section</div>

When we share the pretties we make for our homes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that bring a smile or a happy thought to our hearts </div>

in this hurry up world,</div>

perhaps</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there are a few of you like me...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you desire a little place of our own to decompress</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...to regroup</div>

recompose....</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
until the beginning of this year,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this space never existed...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I desired somewhere quiet</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
where i could meditate and practice yoga.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I pondered a bit </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and decided what better area, than in the place I create?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so a wall was cleared and I began designing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a place for stillness...</div>

I wanted a mural of something that I was inspired by,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so naturally I chose ~ the sea</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I began there. with that mural</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and found a place that will turn your photos into a</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
~ <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/+shower-curtains">shower curtain</a> ~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved the concept of sitting there,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the window open</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a slight breeze flowing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the fabric moving ever so slightly like the rippling of a wave...</div>

I used those brilliant little removable wall hooks</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to attach it to the wall,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as we are in a rental and that's a lot of holes to fill : )</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
next came the rug.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am still seeking a soft, silk/wool rug that delights my heart</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but for now,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this grey one will do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
every meditation room will be different</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the important key is simply using what you love</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and choosing things that evoke a calm beauty for your soul...</div>

as I am a tactile person and yearn for lovely things to the touch</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as well as to my eye,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and intoxicating soy candles...</div>

...hello my sweet friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
today is all about creating love-ly delights from the heart</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mind you, there are just soooo many pretties</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a girl can make,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sometimes it is hard to narrow it down!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so be for-warned, this is a long post</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because these all spoke to my heart :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
first up,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is this easy diy flutter heart garland</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for this garland you will need a large heart shaped paper punch,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pretty tissue paper, coordinating ribbon and your sewing machine</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
start by punching out your paper hearts</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i found that 4 layers at a time worked perfectly</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
next, simply start sewing a pair of them together</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
two by two</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(that's the "fluttery" part!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
two hearts beating as one :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

(like the kind you can find at Tuesday Mornings)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the bottom and two sides of some pretty lace,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then slide your pretty box in,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
tie on a wide ribbon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and embellish away!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i would always seek jobs that taught me something i wanted to learn</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i figured, hey, why not try this</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and get paid for it too!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
one of those jobs was in a floral shop...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i hardly ever brought home a paycheck ~ lol!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sooooo many pretty things to be done with flowers</div>

below are a few variations of that tutorial, using the same technique...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this one is in a round vase,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i simply stuck the roses in a heart shape </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and then surrounded them with cream roses...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wouldn't that be a most love-ly bridal bouquet concept?!?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i added a satin ribbon around the vase for two reasons,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
one ~ because it looks pretty!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and two, because it hides the green floral foam</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(hint: use a few pieces of carpet tape to secure your ribbon to the glass vase!)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for this next centerpiece, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i made it the same way as in my original tutorial</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
only this time, i added the leaves to the outer edge,</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
your flowers need to have at least 4 roses per stem for this wreath size</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
if they have more flower on each stem,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you will need less stems</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and vise verse for less roses.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i looked all over for a ready made blank wreath form</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in the heart shape</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but couldn't find one</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
soooo</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i had to improvise!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this form actually had red heart tinsel garland</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wrapped around it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which after i purchased it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i took off!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i found this at "Five Below" and later saw them at "Big Lots" stores too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the heart form is a red plastic</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and normally i would have spray painted it white</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to match my white washed home</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but it has been below freezing here and i wasn't going to attempt it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so i painted it with craft paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
craft paint will scratch off so i recommend that, if you can,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to spray paint it first with a paint made for plastic.</div>

things in my home and studio<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i suppose one could say</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that i am re-calibrating...<br />
~ a new beginning ~<br />
so to speak,<br />
and a constructive approach<br />
during these cold, long winter months<br />
while waiting for spring to arrive :)<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it is a ritual</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that i have grown to look forward to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
after all the hustle and bustle of holiday delights<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this year,<br />
i feel an urge to not only clear away the clutter in my studio ~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but to also</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
clear away the clutter in my heart<br />
for after awhile,<br />
toxic buildup can weigh heavy on you!!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
perhaps a few of you feel this way too?!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i believe it is important to listen to the cues</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that your heart, mind and soul give you.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so i have begun a quest, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
upping challenges beyond my "comfort zone"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to strengthen my body</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by participating in yoga ballet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(a strong core = sound heart)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to nurture my heart<br />
by taking the time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and immersing my mind into</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
such books as "The Artist's Way" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"inner EXCAVATION"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Positive Energy" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(sound heart = creative energy)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and allowing my creative core</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the freedom to dance outside the lines that i've drawn for myself</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(creative energy = soul print expressions)<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and i must say</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i am excited with the conscious effort<br />
to dwell in the possibilities!!<br />
<br /></div>

as of late, i have been noticing a slide in my blog postings.<br />
<br />
when i began this blog,<br />
i made a promise to myself that "blogging"<br />
would always be from my best, authentic self<br />
and not be tainted by frustration,<br />
negativity, comparisons or unwanted outside voices/influences<br />
but to instead, <br />
always be a place of inspiration and beauty.<br />
<br />
the nurturing feedback<br />
and friendships formed within this blogging community<br />
have blessed me beyond what i could have possibly imagined.<br />
i enjoy sharing with all of my dear readers<br />
the things from my heart and soul...<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*bless you*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as you reach for a tissue</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in a pretty cardboard box...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
NOT!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
~ i ask you ~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WHY</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
has no one </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
started printing pretty cardboard tissue boxes?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
perhaps a neutral french script or a fluer-de-lis design would be nice</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
( i bet a pair of fairy wings</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that THOSE tissue box sales would increase!! )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and i am certain that there are a few out there</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that this really won't matter to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if the ugly tissue box quandary has stymied you ~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
be stymied no more!!</div>

supply list: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
* pretty paper napkins</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

* mod podge matte </div>

* a small paint/sponge brush</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
step one: lightly spray your wooden box.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i have chosen to spray paint my box</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
rather than to paint it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i desired a slightly luminous quality</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that would appear from under the paper napkin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that could only be achieved with the spray paint</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and if sprayed lightly, is translucent.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
step two: open your paper napkin </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and lay it over your box</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
until you are pleased with the design placement.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
( don't cut anything yet, you will do that later )</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i have chosen to use a paper napkin</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as opposed to a piece of paper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because it is easier to apply</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it attaches itself in a way that melds with the actual box</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when you get to the box ends,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and BEFORE you coat with it mod podge,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
lay out the placement of your tissue layer</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and trim the sides a little larger than what meets to the edge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this will allow for a clean edge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
don't trim the tops.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you will find that all the paper napkin points will meet at the top</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and should line up and touch when folded over.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
mod podge the tissue points at the top of the box first</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
folding them towards the center "tissue opening"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
fold excess underneath to the inside of the box</div>

then mod podge the short sides.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when you get to the bottom of your box,</div>

trim the excess tissue paper to about a 1/2 inch all the way around.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
mod podge the bottom lip and about 1/2 inch inside</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
step five: when all the sides are covered in the tissue paper,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
lightly brush the entire box with a coat of the mod podge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this will give the paper a protective layer.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i used two rows of sticky back rhinestones </div>

around the top of my tissue box</div>

for a little sparkly bling!</div>

i have been searching for a bag that i felt was "me"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for quite some time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i looked</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i looked... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
until i figured out,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
what i searching for, just wasn't out there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so this is the tale of a most beauteous leather and lace bag</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and how</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it came to be.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this lovely bag </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is the creative work by the hands of</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/stacyleigh">~ Stacy Leigh ~</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
her shop is one of the very first shops</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i stumbled across years ago,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when i first opened my etsy shop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i bought a whimsical slip dress from her vintage shop</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that i have worn for my birthday,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
every year when i visit Carmel-by-the-sea at sunset!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(but that's another story!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
her ooak leather bags are highly sought after </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and don't linger long in her etsy shop! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so i contacted Stacy, to inquire if she perhaps,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
had something just for me....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>

she sent me a few leather swatches to choose from,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i knew right away which one would be mine!</div>

...hello again dear hearts!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
earlier this month, i had a gentle urge </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to make a floral crown for my Mary statue.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~ and as it sometimes occurs,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the topic arose as i was conversing with a dear customer </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
about this desire.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
imagine my delight when she told me that in the month of May,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that (in the Catholic Church)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the Virgin Mary is honored as "the Queen of May"!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
how apropos...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to pass those cooler, dreary days away,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i have been designing a few jewelry adornments</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for my sea wardrobe,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
incorporating my hand dyed sea silk ribbons...</div>

this heart shaped shell, complete with barnacles,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
called out to me on etsy one day ~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and i just knew it would be lovely as a necklace!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so i gathered a few of my pretties</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
bits of lace, hand dyed silk ribbons, jacob's tear beads</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

and pearls onto white wire, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the length of your napkin ring</div>

i wanted pretty "sugared eggs" for each place setting</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and looked all over for them</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ahhh</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
yah right!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
all the stores have done cutbacks ~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ie. back to basic juicy colors</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ie. not too many fairytale like pretties to be found!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but, not to worry...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
all you need is a few wooden eggs</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(i like the weight of them better than paper mache ones)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
paint them white and once dry,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
paint them again with elmers glue and sprinkle with sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

a feather rose for my "sugared egg" to nestle in, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
