"Jilly" Bean Bar

I know there is so much eye "candy"
out and about on the web to inspire
all sorts of sweets tables.
I feel in love with this very unique idea
This was designed for a wedding
in which every last detail was personalized.
The brides name was Jill and her
nickname is "Jillybean" hence
the change in spelling in Jellybean.
I really love the laid back feel in
design of the "Jillybean" bar.
It gives you the feeling that
bride used vases from her own collection.
Want more?
Check out more of the details from
the fabulous wedding here!

Drop half of the yellow in the pan first

Top with white frosting...

So cute...

Tricks and Treats

Here are a couple of Tricks and Treats
I have done in the past.

The first is a fun decoration to
hang from your trees Halloween night!


All you need is:
White Balloons
Glow sticks
Cheesecloth
Black Marker
String

Activate your glow stick first
(small bracelets work well)
Place the glow stick in the balloon
Inflate and knot the balloon
Position the knot at the top
Draw a face on the balloon
Drape the cheesecloth over the balloon
Cut a small hole and push the knot through
Secure with a string and hang in the trees
These look so cool blowing in the wind

The second is a treat!

Candycorn Marshmallows


All you need is
Marshmallows
Lollipop sticks
Yellow Chocolate
Orange Chocolate


Cut the marshmallows into triangles
Insert a lollipop stick
Dip in the Yellow Chocolate
Let dry

Dip in the Orange Chocolate
Let dry

And there you have it!

Halloween Lunch Box Notes

I am a big fan of lunch box notes!
I imagine the smile on my daughters face

a sweet note from mom.

I know she is probably a little tired
of getting the same ol' same ol' notes
each week.
So, I was so excited to find these
very cute Halloween note downloads from


Are these great or what?
