I wanted to share with you how to make a candy vase. It makes a great Valentine's Day gift idea for the chocolate lovers. It is also an economical gift for stockpilers. I saw a candy themed vase just like this for $24.99 in a local grocery store! I couldn't believe my eyes! I decided to come home and re-create my own version for only a fraction of the cost. I have two major CHOCOHOLICS at my house who are going to love this for Valentines Day! This is the photo before of my supplies and after!

Hi ! I'm new to your site and I love it ! I live in Riverdale, Ga. I am a wife and also a mother to 3 hungry teenagers. I began couponing approx. 4 months ago. My question is this : how do I get the higher dollar coupons that aren't sent out in my Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper ?
Thanks for your help,
Rhonda
