Personalized Homemade Candy Hearts Arts & Crafts

One of my mottos in life is why buy it when you can make it? Homemade tastes better, smells better, costs less, and let's face it, is overall the best!

Few ingredients suffice to create these unique treats that you can personalize and offer to anyone and at any occasion.

Snow Globe Arts & Crafts Activity

I hate winter. I have no problem admitting to it. But good news for winter. I love thee for one reason, and one reason only: Christmas! Can't have Christmas any other way than white! And I admit, I get a little depressed during the month of December if there is no white carpet on the ground. I need my snow for Christmas, what can I say! So I was ecstatic last week when we had our first snow fall. Alright it was merely a couple of inches with half that melted less than 24 hours later due to rain but hey, it's white outside and that's all that matters! So because Christmas is not far away and I am getting really excited, let's make snow globes together!

A centrepiece such as this one can dress up your table on an everyday basis, or can wow the guests during a dinner party.

Believe it or not, but my mom still buys me a calendar every year! A week or so ago, I was visiting my friend and, much to my surprise, she had made her own calendar! And it was super fantastic too! I thought the idea was so original, I had to borrow it off of her to share it with you guys!
