Images from our Candlemas

This year we tried something new. We made our Candlemas candles for our Lenten garden. 

First we took an old clam shell container and filled it with dirt. We turned an old branch from our Christmas tree into a winter tree to place in the middle. We pushed depressions into the dirt and dropped wicks into the depressions and then filled the depressions with melted wax. 

Here is a look at our Lenten Garden from last year :)
