This craft tutorial will show you how to make a fun Halloween garland with M&M's Candy Corn candies.
Oh, how I LOVE this time of the year! Starting with Halloween, ending with New Years...I love it all. I get so excited when the stores start putting all their Halloween products on the shelves. One new product this year has been M&M’s Candy Corn White Chocolate. As soon as I heard about them, I knew I would have to get my hands on a few bags for recipes and crafting.

Creative & Easy Food Gift Ideas
If you enjoy cooking, then you probably enjoy giving food gifts to friend and family. Christmas time is the main time I give food gifts. I bake ever year and have piles of goodies to give away to family and friends who live nearby. This wasn't a tradition that my family had, but rather something I learned from my grandmother-in-law and my mother-in-law.

Our family fun has this summer has been having a BBQ and watching the latest movie that we pick up at the Redbox. Not real exciting stuff, but it suits us fine.
That was until we did the unexpected: we hosted an ice cream sundae party.
Thrift Store Find: Recipe Plaque (Daily Photo)
This evening, we took a trip over to my favorite thrift store. We went looking for gardening tools (shovel, Hula hoe, etc) and rugs. They didn't have what we were hoping to find, but no worries, I didn't leave empty handed. I found this weird plaque.

This piece is screwed into the wood base.
