That's an idea!

Welcome to another installment of

That's An Idea Thursday's!

Okay, well welcome to the first That's An Idea Thursday...

Maybe sometimes on Thursday we will share a simple idea.

Quick story behind it.

One of Heather's darling girls used to suggest some activity/project/whatnot and follow it with

"Is that an idea?"

Never specifying if it's a good or bad idea, just that it was an idea.

Moving to Phoenix a couple of months ago we found ourselves with a fireplace.

I know I know...why do they have fireplaces in Phoenix??

I didn't take a before photo, but it just had one of those blackened metal things in it to hold wood.

I played around with a few ideas.  At first I thought I'd get some big glass cylinders (whatever they're called) and do three across with some big fatty-boom-batty candles in them.

But that can be quite expensive.

Then I decided I would just fill it with random sized and off-white colored candles.

(Don't look too closely, they could be arranged a bit better!)

I got a "starter" candle set at Ikea for $10.

I think there were 5 of various heights.

The rest I had around my house and some I got from my cousin who was moving.

You could easily find some at a garage sale or a second hand store.

I like it too because when Christmas comes around and it's a crisp 66 degrees (hehe) we can light up all these candles while we prepare Santa's cookie plate.

Is that an idea??
