My little leprechaun was born 14 years ago today!  He asked for a “St. Patrick’s Day Hershey Bar Cake”....so that’s exactly what I made him!

Valentines for Guys #1:
Tumblr media
Try these easy Twine Jars for Valentines Day!!!  Perfect for the guys in your life...but also a really nice, simple gift for anyone you care about!  All materials were bought at the Dollar Tree for $1.25. You only need glue, a craft jar, decorative twine and candy...  simply spread the glue around the outside of the jar, wrap the decorative twine around the jar in any design you like, and finish by filling with candy!!!  I’ll be giving these jars to my sons on Valentines Day. Once they eat all the candy, they can use the jars as pencil holders, change holders, or just put more candy in it!

Never Too Soon for a Valentine!
 After 2 months of a much-needed break, I’m finally back with new posts and new ideas for 2023!!
To kick it off....  A Valentines Project!  Even though my sons are now teenagers, I still like to make them a little surprise for Valentines Day.  But making Valentines for young men can sometimes be difficult, so for the next 3 Fridays (Jan. 27, Feb. 3, and Feb 10) I’ll be posting a Valentine DIY that you can make for your sons, nephews, friends, etc...that they’ll be sure to love!  
So check back this Friday for the first project.  It’s incredibly easy.....you only need a small jar, colorful twine and some candy!!!!

A Little Taste of Autumn!!
Tumblr media
This is one of my favorite Autumn/Halloween candy recipes!  I make it every year!  And the best part is that you can make it any way you want... This year I used m&m’s, candy corn, and Ghoulish Green Twix. It’s a great recipe for kids of all ages (my 13 year old son helped)!  It’s also a great way to use leftover Halloween candy!  For more recipes and decorating ideas, check out my website YourVintageAdvantage.com.  I originally got this recipe idea from all you magazine...
