Candy Bouquet

9:27 AM by Lewis Plain and Simple
Brady and I celebrated our 6th anniversary about a week ago.  Each year I try to get him a gift that matches the traditional gift of each year.  Well this year was candy!  I made Brady a Candy Bouquet.  It was really easy.

Nothing says love like a candy bouquet!


Supplies:
Green Foam Blocks
Craft Sticks
Hot Glue/Gun
4 boxes of candy
any type of candy bars (you can decide how many to put in)

I glued the boxes of candy to the foam blocks.  Then I glued the craft sticks to the candy bars.  After the glue sets on the candy bars you can just place the candy bar sticks into the green blocks.  I added Easter grass just to make it a little prettier!

Vanilla extract

9:35 AM by Lewis Plain and Simple


I made my own vanilla extract a few weeks ago  Here are the directions:

In each quart jar, I split 3 vanilla beans.

 


 



I filled one of the jars with vodka and the other one with bourbon.
 



 You seal the jars and let it sit for 3 months!


I will give you an update in 3 months after I try it!
