So I'm a bit of a Pinterest addict and I'm not afraid to admit it. Well I've been looking up some things to do for my daughters Birthday party in December and I have decided that I'm going to do a candy buffet. Of course I realize that this might just be a dangerous idea but then again, i'm not the kids parents and they should be the ones who decide what the kids can and cannot have. I am also planning to do a decorate your own cupcake bar , because let's be honest it's cheaper then getting a cake now a days and its allot freaking easier.
In other things candy related I've been making a crap ton of candy bouquets for people. I just spent like $52 at Sam's Club on candy for them. Once again allot cheaper to buy in bulk then paying for them per piece. I've got two that need to get done this week and one that needs to be delivered on Wednesday. Let's face it I'm a stay at home Mommy and I need to find things to occupy my time. I would love to start making jewelry again but right now the funds are a tad low.
I have till November to get all my stuff for my Daughters birthday and for her Christmas. I have will have candy coming out of my ears soon! Trying to track down candy that is all purple and all pink is not my favorite task. Right now I have a whole board on Pinterest that just for her Birthday and one for candy ideas. There are things from how to make your own sugar candy to Chocolate dipped marshmallows. I have a feeling that some parents are going to kill me when they see what I have in store for her party, but I think i can deal with that. Oh a word for the Wise..Stay away from bulk candy sites they charge a hell of allot more then your wholesale clubs do, plus the shipping is horrendous! I though about hiring someone to do the candy buffet but once again it's just cheaper to do it myself. Trying to budget a party on $350 that's including her gifts for Birthday and Christmas (which we are having to bundle as one this year) is proving to not be an easy task, but I am the queen of discounts and have been planning this party since June so I will find what i'm looking for at any cost! I'm making most of the decorations myself and thanks to a wonderful site www.listia.com I have even managed to get some stuff without having to pay a dime out of pocket.
As of tomorrow the candy rush begins as I pick up my first order of candy for my bouquets and then get them put together and shipped out to the proper people and then the real fun starts when I work on my orders for my other candy for her Birthday and a few other things. So it's going to be a Candy Candy and more Candy week!
Love
