A Sweet Gift

I was asked to share this candy bouquet

I made for a special friend's retirement.

Sweets for a sweetheart of a friend!

Sorry, I made this before

I started "blogging"

so my pics aren't very good.

But, maybe you can get the idea.



I covered a coffee can

with scrapbook paper and

added fun and funky letters

that spell

"H-A-P-P-Y"

I added foam and covered

it with shreds.

I taped skewers to the

back of each candy bar using

heavy-duty packing tape.



I just go to the candy aisle

and survey the array of candy bars.

I get my inspiration from the names

of the candy and the occasion

I'm fixing the bouquet for.

I have also made candy gram cards by

using poster board instead of a can.

(Sorry no pic of the card.)

Candy bars I used:

Now you can (Snicker)

when the alarm goes off

Your friendship is

 (Hershey’s Special) to me

I could search the (Milky Way)

and never find a sweeter friend than you!!!

You’ve had your last one (Pay Day)

It’s a (Grand) day

Retire (Mementos)

MINT –       it’s here

Just      (Skiddles)  addle outta here!

It’s   (Crunch) time

Count it ALL (Almond JOY)

(Fast Break) – That’s you today at 4:30

5^th Avenue

– shopping you will go

Bit o Honey – that’s what you can put on your biscuit when the Sister Chicks go to breakfast on a weekday.

M & M – Millions and millions of happy times await
