Make a Wish!

And blow.... birthday candles are part of tradition that used to be a superstition. A lit candle on a special sweet treat would glow like the moon... the candle light would help send signals to the goddess of the moon...Greek scholars believed that the signals and prayers sent up to the sky and to the goddess Artemis would then watch over those... and then in return she would send good luck to those in the coming year. Do you make a wish, close your eyes and blowwwww......wish all your wishes come true.

To make candles glow on a whimsical fun card, I use crystal stickles that has glitter and glue mixed together from Ranger. The background paper has cute butterflies and swirls from DCWV, the Blossoms & Butterflies stack. I love the whimsy of it all.....FuN MaiL!!

This is super duper uber cute! Love the layout and the whimsy girl!

I could use about a million candles to wish on right now, to bad my birthday is passed.

You can always send up wishes and dreams and hopes.... why not? It can't hurt to have a ritual or a superstition... to ask for gentle guidance...
