How To Add Crystals To A Lamp

February 2, 2016 By Meegan 4 Comments

This post contains affiliate links that I make a commission on at no extra cost to you. Hello everyone! I have something fun and creative for you today. I have a simple tutorial on How To Add Crystals To A Lamp. Sounds fun, right?

Everyone needs a little bling in their life, right?

I MUST tell you a story about the first time I made potato soup. We had only been married a few weeks, and it was a cool Fall day. An ideal day for soup, right? I thought I would dive into one of the many cook books I had received as a wedding present. (Yes, they gave cook books as gifts back then.) (HUGE SMILE)

Anyway, Hubby liked potato soup with lots of cheese and cornbread. I worked in the kitchen most of the afternoon making sure I timed it just right, so everything was ready when he got home from work.

I had never made either one before, but I was confident I was making a great meal.
