Left Over Christmas Candy Ideas

January 6, 2012 By admin 1 Comment

I have an abundance of candy left over from Christmas!!! It makes it a little hard to try to be healthy when it is right there calling my name! If you want to get creative and use some of that candy, here are a couple of ideas.

I love this idea to make peppermint sugar cubes with candy canes! You can find the tutorial at Homework.

Chocolate and nuts and such a common gift at Christmas so here’s a great way to combine the two and make Rocky Road from Hef’s Kitchen.

Addendum

This Candy Cane Salted Brownie from Oh, Darling looks delicious!

I made these adorable Candy Cane Hearts from The Idea Room last years as teacher’s gifts for Valentine’s Day!

Displaying Christmas Cards

December 19, 2011 By admin 1 Comment

I love all of the different ways that people display their Christmas cards. This year I used my Christmas cards as a centerpiece on my dining room table.
(sorry for the phone quality pictures…my computer has crashed!)

I simply spray painted some branches with gold glitter paint and then arranged them in a vase. I used red and gold beads in the vase to hold the branches in place. Then as you receive Christmas cards, start tying them on the branches for a festive display.
