doesn't sound as good...
this was a way cheap, way easy craft.
i was even able to finish it while suffering from strep throat (believe me, it wasn't a good week at our home).
i had bought some candy corn last year after halloween (i dont like the taste-i just like the look) and at some point i got some coffee beans on clearance thinking they'd look so cool as a decoration (i do like the smell, never much cared for the taste),
after layering them in a tall skinny jar, i realized that i needed flowers.
i dragged myself out of my deathbed to get to roberts and originally had a vision of sunflowers in here.
but then i saw these poppys (?) and fell in love.
here is a side view
i think i might need to get some of the green leaves out of there.
and parker felt it was time to say 'eek' on the blocks instead of 'poo'. sounds like he might be a party pooper...

Hey there! I'm back into the blogging world, finally...I LOVE your new look! I think it's very you!!!
Thank you for checking up on me.There's a a little explanation on my blog if you have a minute to read.
I'm also finally in the mood for fall and have started decorating.
It feels good to be "talking" to my blog friends again.:-) I hadn't been writing OR reading...so I'm off to catch up!
Happy Fall!

very cute!!
You make me want to go shopping and haul out the decorations! Love it!
Wahoo...the new blog is up and lovely! I think you picked the right look for you!
Your blog looks great and glad you're on the mend. Your "fall-mas" looks great too!
Cute!!! Are the blocks done all in chalkboard paint? & I Definitely love cheap & easy!!!! (in Crafts & deco stuff, I mean) =)
Love your blog....
Great idea! AND you changed your site!!! Love the new design!
F is for Feeling better? I sure hope so.
I think the combination of coffee beans and candy corn is very creative.
Happy Halloween! La
haha I agree eek is better than poo .
It looks fantabulous!
F is for FUN post:)
I love the candy corn in the vase. The whole arrangement is wonderful.
ooo, I like! What an interesting way to use candy corn and coffee beans as decoration :) Very creative!
I'll take the coffee beans in exchange for some black jelly beans. You can keep the candy corn. Great idea--it gives me one!
Nice post! Considering you were working form your deathbed, this project is lovely! Coffee beans and candy corn! What a sweet treat! Anne
Fun, easy and festive!
awwwww....how clever and creative! Love your idea!
What a very nice idea, the combination of candy corn and coffee. Your creative juices are flowing.
Very cute!
Happy fall and happy "F" day!
"Need a little Fall-mas!" Love it.
(And I'm singing it to myself right now...)
You see. I share your sentiments.
=)
PS. Great look, by the way. I love the idea!
very cute crating idea!!!
candy corn sure made that vase look amazing. I am not that clever. way to go!
Nice idea. I wish I could buy some candy corn. They are very colourful, but they are not available here. My mother usually saves them in the freezer for when I visit her.
Best wishes,

First of all - love Fall-mas! What a cool phrase.
Second of all - how do you get people not to eat the candy corn before you get it into the vase?
Love the chalkboard paint blocks...you could make a big set of those and use them for all the holidays!
What a clever stop on our little journey through Alphabe-Thursday!
Thank you for linking.
A+
