Candy Bouquet

Here is a really cute inexpensive gift. The items you need to make this are as follows:  a styrofoam block, hot glue gun, hot glue sticks, at least 8 regular size candy bars, 4 boxes of candy, tissue paper, craft sticks, and tulle(optional).  The directions are as follows: hot glue the four boxes of candy to the foam (one on each side), hot glue the candy bars on the craft sticks, push them down in the foam arranging them neatly as you do, and add tissue paper and tulle.  I didn't put any tulle, because this was for my brother-in-law. My husband thought the tulle was too girly for his gift.  

The first candy bouquet I made.

Post It Present

Here is a project that is so easy and cute.  It is a post it holder You will need the following items to complete this project: a clear picture frame ( I bought mine for a $1 from Wal-Mart), a cute piece of scrapbook paper, post it notes, , rubber cement, ribbon, and embellishments if desired. It is really simple. Get a clear frame, cut a piece of scrapbook paper to fit it and insert it in it, stick the post it notes on the front( I used rubber cement to keep them in place), then add the ribbon to the top, and finally add your embellishment. It is cheap and cute!

 Here is one that I made.

Here is some I found on another website that someone had made.

A Cute Father's Day Present

Well, father's day will be here before you know it. I hate waiting to the last minute to plan things or buy presents, so I have already started plannimg and buying the gifts for father's day. For mine and Jonathan's 5th anniversary in March, I got him something he had always wanted.  I got him a guitar, a left handed guitar (he is a lefty).  He had tried to pick around on right handed guitars, but it was too difficult for him to do.  He has been doing pretty good with his new guitar though.  I thought since he loves it so much, that Hughes and I would get him some "accessories" for his guitar for father's day.  Well, Hughes got him a personalized pick (Actually, he got him 20 of them, because you have to buy at least 20. They were still less than $25 including shipping) I ordered them from the website personalizedmall.com.  It is a great website. Lots of personalized items at reasonable prices.

I think Jonathan is gonna love it. Now, I just have to find him the guitar strap I want to get him. I will post pics as soon as I find it.

Pinterest

Ok, I love crafts! I love DIY projects! I love cooking and baking! I love making gifts! So when I discovered pinterest I was in love! I could spend all day and tons of money on projects that I have found on there. There are some things that I have found on there that I like to do differently, and there are some things I have completed that I have not seen anywhere. So in some of my future post, I will be sharing some things I have completed, projects and food stuff! I have really got to start blogging; I enjoy it.
