Snow Globe

I made my own snow globe, not quite a Christmas theme but it works!

Cribbage

I learned a new card game, its based on working out the best scenarios, a bit too much counting while drinking but I quite liked it.



The objective of the game is to be the first player to score a target number of points, typically 61 or 121. Points are scored for card combinations that add up to fifteen, pairs (plus triples and quadruples), runs and flushes.

Candle Making

Melt wax, i bought some and also used an old candle



Add the wicks and pour in some wax into desired holders


Let the wax cool down to do different colours


And there you have it ..homemade candles, quite simple really and handy to recycle old candles.
