This Week in Yays

Make your own citronella candles. Apparently the store bought ones smell like citronella, but often don't contain it. From Positively Splendid, found via AT.

Birthday reminder pad from linda & harriett stationery via Design*Sponge.

Real Mexican Vanilla. There's nothing like it! For watching Gabe, Laura and Barry brought back some clear (good for anything white, like vanilla frosting), concentrate and beans. I'm going to make french vanilla sugar this weekend (put the bean w/sugar in an airtight container for a week). So good, so good. Pic from here.
