CaNdY TaBLeScAPe: Nature

Thursday night I was able to work with some amazing women to put together a sweet candy table for over 150 women to enjoy while doing humanitarian work.JJ, GF and myself "shopped" at about 5 different friend's homes to find a unique variety of glass containers and decorations to use on the table.

We tried to stick to colors in shades of beige and blues with lots of natural elements like nests, branches, birds, eggs and a few spots of green.

GF thought of these vellum bags with a brown bird stamped on the front for the ladies to fill with candy. It took her all of about 9.6 seconds to come up with the idea and make a sample.

JJ baked and decorated about 150 cupcakes PLUS she was also in charge of putting hygiene kits together that night too. Poor girl.

I dipped the marshmallows and pretzel rods in white & milk chocolate and blue candies from Michaels. Then I put sprinkles and small candies on each of them. It was pure torture for my children.

Putting this table together was a lot of work but so much fun! It's nice to do something that makes people happy. Over all the night was a big success.


GF and I promised each other that when our only daughters get married that we will be on each others wedding planning committee


I feel giddy just thinking about it, BUT I want my daughter to definitely take her time!
