Candy Jars

I love these candy jars which are easy and quick to make.  All you need is some candlesticks, jars, paint and glue or pots and knobs.

They would be great to give as a gift or if you are planning a candy buffet party would look fantastic painted in whatever your colour theme is.  They would also look great just to add to the decor in your home, though I think we would be having to refill quite often in our house!

Chocolate Packaging

So I thought I would combine 2 of my favourite things - chocolate and packaging.   Some really cool chocolate packaging I came across, would be a shame to open - but then again, it is chocolate.
