My baby is turning 6 today. SIX! Where did the time go???
Wasn’t it just yesterday that she looked like this?
It’s gone by so quickly!
I had all these great plans to make all these great party favors for her birthday party. Well, life happened and here we are. The only thing I successfully accomplished (besides planning the party) was making these candy necklaces for her little guests.
I saw them on the Family Fun website a month or so ago and thought the girls would love them. And they are really easy to make.
Measure out a piece of Saran Wrap. Make sure it’s long enough to be a necklace! Then place little candies along one edge. We chose to use Hershey Kisses (because that’s what I had in the house). =o)
Next, roll the candy in the plastic wrap and make a “snake”.
Tie pieces of ribbon between each piece of candy.
And tie the ends together!
And voila! There you have it!
My first couple were with an expensive light pink ribbon I bought. But I didn’t think it was colorful enough so we got out the curling ribbon and used bright pink and purple. My daughter thought this was much better.
She’s being goofy…
Happy birthday Ellie Cakes!
Happy Birthday Ellie, she was a cutie pie baby, and is just as adorable as a six year old. Those necklaces are darling. Hope you have a wonderful day sweety!!

Oh she was such a cute baby! They do grow up way too fast. It is almost like they become new people that you love but you miss the baby and toddler too. I love the necklaces, super great idea. The girls must have been thrilled.
Such a cute and tasty idea for a lei.
