Pinned It! {An Ode to Candy Corn}

Well, I couldn't have a Halloween party without one of my favorite blogging friends, Pinterest! Pinterest and I have become the best of buddies over the past few months and I thought I would share some of my favorites from my Fall and Halloween board.

I love the look of candy corn but, honestly, I can't stand eating the stuff {and I usually love all things remotely resembling candy!} I actually didn't even know candy corn existed until I started blogging last year. I think it is more of an American thing as I never really came across it here in Canada.  So last year, I drove all the way across the border and down to Target just to pick some up. And guess what? I HATED IT!! Good thing it is great for decorating! {EDIT: Just after I posted this, I found some in two different stores up here!}

So, in honor of the "oh so cute but not so tasty" candy corn, here are some fun candy corn projects to inspire you!

I so know what you mean, my entire kitchen is decorated in Gingerbread Men, (not Christmassy though), and I can not stand the taste of Gingerbread cookies. I don't even like the smell of gingerbread scented candles that people often give me. I'd much rather have Cinnamon! I'm not a huge fan of candy corn either, but I'll eat them occasionally, but Candy Corn decorations are so much better, cuter, and won't add a single inch to my waist! :). TFS!!!

I love the candy corn stuff.on pinterest. I actually made the candle holder with the candy corn. Here is my blog showing my candy corn centerpiece.
