How to clean candle vessels...

Hi, should I say Good Morning! I pose a question this morning, what is the best way to prevent, or at least, clean candle vessels that have the black soot in them? I must not use very clean burning candles, b/c all my jars/cups/etc. have the soot or whatever in them that is very hard to get out and it looks really bad. Does anybody have ideas of what works best to clean them up? I am open to any and all ideas. Thank you sincerely. Hope everyone has an Awesome day!! Kimberly

Treasurers and catching up

First; the treasurers; these are some faucet handles my mom got me; one has a square hole...they are really cute, and I saw an idea on how to display them once, but can't find it now...will just have to figure out a way. Here are two angels that I found at a thrift store. I college angles, they will fit in nicely.

You untwist each of these and there is a Halloween stamp. My young day care kids will love this!

Not a great pic, sorry. These are very small Fall Bears. They are really cute sitting on my shelf.

Another lantern! Wahoo!! I now have four!

This pic has sheep on it, and say "You are Woolcome...

Oh, I loved the title of this book, been so busy I haven't even got to open it! :)

Catch up; my life is very busy and somewhat stressful. Day care is busy; have seven children, two come full time, they rest are either just after-schoolers, or otherwise part time. So very busy, but the money could be better. That leads me to my next issue, husband Todd and I are considering becoming theraputic foster parents. That is a step up from regular foster parenting (which we did for ten years). The kids in TFC have more issues. Or more serious issues. We start classes (training) tomorrow evening. If I do this I would have to give up the daycare. State of Oklahoma will not let you do both.

Kids (Janie and Matthew) are very busy. So are Todd and I. Haven't had time to ride horses in forever, flower-beds need serious work before winter. Would love to have time to get out and put up Fall decorations. Would also love to get scarecrows and pumpkins outside.

I love comments, so please feel free to leave one. Love my blogger friends!!

Hope you all have an Awesome day!!

Love, Kimberly

Matthew's 14th Birthday!

Matthew celebrated his 14th birthday. His gift, AN IPOD!! He was very excited, although, I think somebody spilled the beans beforehand.

Dirtwork

Thank you Andrew and Carol for the

use of the tractor! We used it

to move the excess dirt from the

cellar to level out the driveway!

The cellar is DONE!

I'm ready for a thunderstorm, and some needed rain!

I hope you all have a wonderful day! Talk to you soon! Love, Kimberly
