CANDY, CANDY, CANDY!

I love candy!  In fact, I gave up candy for lent.  You would think that wouldn't be an issue for a "forty something" year old but it actually is something I eat on occasion.... okay okay... daily!  My brother's birthday was last week and he REALLY has a sweet tooth.  He is a true candy expert.  haha! For one of his gifts I made him a "candy tray" as opposed to a candy basket, or bag, etc.  I figured I would put it in something that he and my SIL could use later.  The thought crossed my mind to make it in a planter since Spring planting is right around the corner but I figured that is sorta a work kind of gift and with this nice tray they can use it for entertaining or books or ...... I mean who doesn't need another nice tray?  I love them and I have too many already. So I loaded it up with some of his favorite candies and filled in with tissue paper.  Originally, I put the stick letters H O O R A Y in tiny pieces of styrofoam  and it looked great (in person) but I thought it looked like a bit too much in the photos so I will post one with the letters and one without.  This was a much nicer gift than the ones you can order or purchase already done and it was so easy to put together.  It was also a lot cheaper.   Now it's your turn to make a candy basket, planter, bucket, tray..... for the candy lover(s) in your life!
