{SWEET} Father's Day Bouquet. Eek! I can't believe that Father's Day is this weekend! I honestly thought I had one more week,so when my friend told me yesterday(who works in the greeting card business)that it was this weekend, I knew I better get on it! I have a fun and easy gift to make for that sweet-lovin' Dad in your life. You'll need FOUR BOXES of a rectangular shaped candy.I chose Sugar Babies because we like them :o)But you could use Mike & Ikes, Whoppers or even a Symphony Bar. You'll need 8-10 regular size candy bars. (There may or may not have been a 100 Grand in this pilebefore the project started. Hey, it was before Nutrisystem.) You'll also need some sort of floral Styrofoam formand some strong, but not too thick, woodensticks or dowels. Hot glue the large rectangular boxes of candiesto your Styrofoam form to make a candy vase :) It will look something like this.
Keep gluing until every candy bar has a stick. I'm linking up HERE!!! The SweetTalk Shop: {SweetTalk Shop} Sweet & Easy Craft Saturday. Inexpensive, yet meaningful, teacher gift… | Beneath My Heart. Make Your Own Play Dough Kits via TipJunkie.com. Meals for New Parents » Annie's Eats. On the cooking message board I frequent, one question that is asked over and over again is what sort of meal is best to bring to new parents.
I feel I have some experience in this area, as I have been both the giver and receiver of such meals. First of all, just know that new parents will be grateful for anything that you bring them. As always, it is the thought that counts, and most new parents are just happy to have a meal that they did not have to spend time, energy, or money on.
I know that we hugely appreciated every single meal that we received after Andrew was born. Of course, as a foodie, I try really hard to come up with something a little bit different than what others might bring. Whenever I bring a meal over to a family, I always check with them at least a few days in advance to be sure that they will be home and that no one else is planning to bring a meal the same night. {Everything} In A Jar - Handmade Gifts. With just a little over 10 weeks until Christmas, it is already time to start thinking about gifts! The more gifts that can be taken care of ahead of time, the easier the holiday season will be. I came up with a really fun idea that can be customized to pretty much any person or occasion called: {Everything} In A Jar Today, I am going to show you the ones I made for teachers!
Teachers spend so much time at school so I tried to think of items that could be used at school. When I picked the supplies to stuff the jars, I tried to stick with a color scheme for each jar to make it look cuter. {energy} in a jar Peanuts White Chocolate Hot Drink Mix Suisse Mocha Latte Mix White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Energy Bar Milk Chocolate Truffles {pampering} in a jar Cozy Socks Sunshine Daisy Lotion Sunshine Daisy Fragrance Spray Moisture Rich Hand Creme Soothing Massage Bar Soap Eye Treatment Cream Facial Scrub Lip Balm {refreshment} in a jar Facial Cleaning Towelettes Wrinkle Release Spray Disposable Mini Toothbrushes Nuts.

I finally decided on a candy gram, but I didn't want to put it on a piece of poster board. I saw these pails at Michaels and thought it would be a perfect fit for the candy.
Here is what the note says: I SKORed big when I got you for a teacher. Don't SNICKER, but I think you're great! You are MOUNDS of fun and you have brought me so much JOY. I also thought it would be cute to have Jaxson draw a picture to put on the lid of the pail; we just haven't gotten that far yet!
