i could not resist the rainbow.
here's how my mind works:
- first, we see marie's adorable rainbow pots, and i think, "what a great idea! definitely going to make those this year! plus i can rationalize buying chocolate nuggets!"
- then, katherine marie shared her cute rainbow favors and i add "rainbow twizzlers" to the grocery list. i did not even know rainbow twizzlers existed before yesterday. nor do i typically add candy to the list. but yesterday i did. and i'm ok with that.
- next, while wandering through the candy aisle, i spot treasure in the form of Rolos.
- finally, i remember our stash of ball jars at home.
the rest is history.
Rainbows Filled with Gold
a whimsical little something that kiddos can make themselves to share a little sunshine to their special people. especially fun to make while listening to ROY G BIV. score one for the rainbow. xoxo
~Awesome!!
~Guess I am buy those twizzlers again even though I vowed never to again after an "incident" last year!!
~Thanks for the inspiration xx

What a cute idea! I think we'll to make a couple to take to nana and daddy at their respective work tomorrow... maybe with skittles on bottom instead of twizzlers. A plethora of canning jars around this joint as well.

I think I might just skip the twizzlers and go straight for the gold - I love Rolos (although the English versions are a little bit better than those found in the States...)
