Christmas in July is here! Enter our drawing and you may be one of THREE winners in our $15.00 Walmart gift card give-away! No catch! This is just my little way of saying THANK YOU to all my faithful readers. This is all you have to do:
Send me an email at 1happybird@sbcglobal.net with 3 or more stocking stuffer ideas. Don't forget to include your name, state and email address! These stocking stuffer ideas can be for a man/woman, child or teen. I plan to post the list, so your ideas will be included! Once I open your email, I'll add your name to the drawing bowl. I will draw names on Friday, July 31st and I'll announce the winners late in the evening! (My time.) Have fun!
I hope you enjoy this snowman! I found directions for him on the net and I added my own little touches. 
Mix 2 tablespoons of shortening per 2 cups of chocolate chips (or any flavor chips) and melt in the microwave at 30 second intervals. Stir between intervals. This will make a perfect candy or cookie coating! Don't use the "reduced fat" shortening, or it won't come out right. Use the regular old shortening. This is a big cost cutter during Christmas. During this time, you can generally pick up the Walmart brand chips for approx. $1.50 per bag.
1. Find a Sundae glass you would like to use in your candy arrangement. 
2. Fill the Sundae glass with the Hershey’s chocolate kisses. 
3. Put the stick candy of the matching color into the glass. 
4. (Optional). You can put Life Savers candy on the top of the Sundae (they will form whipped cream) securing them in place with glue dots or double-sided tape as necessary.
5.a) Prepare curling ribbons of colors that correspond with the kisses wrappers. You can also buy ready-made curl swirls.
b) Take a piece of pipe cleaner or thin stem wire and tightly wrap it around the middle of the curling ribbons from step a). Curl the ribbons by pulling them over the edge of the scissors. 
c) Insert the curling ribbons in the glass. Your beautiful and tasty Candy Sundae is ready!
