First let me start by saying that
if you are related to me, and going to a certain party on Saturday, stop reading right now....
The following is a secret!
These very nice carved candy canes came from
I bought them for myself last year and I'm buying
them for gifts this year.
I started by writing names and the year,
using a paint pen on each
candy cane.

I made a bow with a length of jute and finished it off
with a mini rusty clothespin.
The candy cane is attached to Christmas paper with a small glue dot.
Each ornament is wrapped in a little cello bag with a vintage label...
Now they're ready for all the cousins at the family
Christmas party...
Christmas party...
But until then, they're put away.... shhhhh!

Nothing beats a homemade gift at Christmas, and candy is as much fun to make, as it is to receive. Moreover, candy is love... :)
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find the candy canes?
ReplyDeleteCandy Canes came from Terry's Village... above it the link :)
DeleteThose are cute Susan, but when I first saw them my head said..... "oh mannnn, Susan made wood candy canes!". I'm relieved you didn't make them, because I want some and if I add one more thing to Brawns list Santas gonna put him on the naughty list for what he says to me.
