The Christmas season is here and I hope you are enjoying the many wonderful things that make this time of year special. For the past few weeks I’ve been gathering, preparing, and making gifts, and I will be sharing a little more about this soon. One of the items included in each gift package was these buttery semi-soft caramels with sprinkling of fleur de sel.
A round up of some of my favorite “not so scary” Halloween ideas and inspirations. When they’re simple, creative and kid friendly, the better. Let’s take a look and be sure to click the links below for more info.
It’s almost trick or treating time for the kids. This year I’ve put together some of my favorite fall treats in clear bags attached with pumpkin tags for Halloween. These cute orange pumpkin tags are available in two sizes {small and large} for you to print as many as you like.
Add a little bit of whimsical and fun twist to homemade caramel apples this fall season. Instead of popsicle sticks or wooden skewers for the handles, I decided to use apple branches. To give height and attention to this yummy grouping of caramel apples, the branches were cut a little longer with some leaves still attached. This is a wonderful idea to use as a centerpiece on a table or as a part of the decoration.
It’s summertime and an afternoon of fun activities outside, swimming in the pool or playing in the sprinkler are great pastimes for the kids to do. In between activities is a good time to bring out refreshments and sweet treats. I decided to put together a little refreshment center for them to have and share with friends. To make it festive and summertime, I decorated the empty picture frame to look like water. I used tissue paper cut in strips with scallop edges layered together with double sided tape to look like waves. A decorative flag banner {diyhere} was added to the top of the picture frame.
A local candy shop, The Confectionery was the source for gummies and chocolate treats. Not everyone lives nearby, so I included internet sources at the end of the blog post. Other than treats, bubbles are always fun, and the BEST bubbles that will last a long time before they pop are the ones sold by Gymboree.
