Yup. I've been playing with light and shadows and pink Valentiny things. Pretty fun. Hard to believe Valentine's Day is only 3 days away! I hope all of you are planning to do at least one or two sweeeeet things.
The candy above are actually Dots, made pink and red for Valentine's Day. The pink ones taste good (strawberry). The red ones don't (cherry?). I was hoping they'd be a little more "glowy" but I still like how some of the photos turned out. Especially how a blob of them like up above can turn into something cool like the fun words below.
How Valentiny is that!
But before we go on, I want to take a minute to say a very heartfelt *thank you* to everyone for their sweet words of kindness regarding my last blog post. So many of you here, on Facebook, and through e-mail, have expressed the most touching sentiments. Thank you for your love and prayers going out to these families that surely need it.
Now... just look how something like a mountain of beautiful pink Himalayan *salt* crystals in the photo above can turn into something simple and fun and Valentiny like in the heart photo below! How cute is that! Hey, I don't get paid the big bucks for nothing. Someone's got to play with candy and salt around here - sheesh.
More fun coming - stay tuned :)
Remember the "Look" mirror I made from candy wrappers way back when? It was a very fun project. But I'm always changing things around, and it was time to add some more fun to it. 
I removed all the black rope from around the candy wrapper portion of the frame - but left it on the outside - then made sure the frame was generally clean and dust free. And of course I poured myself a diet Coke :)
Then I began gathering my supplies. Here's a close-up of a corner of the mirror. I still wish I had laid the "Look!" wrappers in more of a brick pattern to begin with... oh well, you live and learn!
All my supplies, including my Mod Podge, my punches, candy, etc! I ended up punching several wrappers at a time because they are so fragile they wouldn't rip as easily that way - whew!
Here's how everything turned out before securing the wrappers and Dots on the mirror frame with the Mod Podge. And unlike all the "Look!" bars, we had no problem whatsoever devouring the Reese's - LOL! :)
This is what the finished mirror looked like before making sure everything was dry and hanging it back up on the wall. At first the Mod Podge gave me fits because the wrappers were such different materials and thicknesses... but everything eventually smoothed out. 
Here's a close-up of that same corner after being embellished with wrappers and candy - YUM! My biggest frustration were those doggone Dots! After using 2 glue sources to glue them (Mod Podge and E-6000), I finally had to whip out my glue gun and sear those suckers on! LOL!
The final result turned out cute and colorful. It's a very cheerful greeting in my entry way :) Click on the pic to see it in better detail.
