Green M&M's


My mom is pretty clever. After Christmas she buys the holiday M&M's on clearance. She'll go through the bags and divide them. The red and white ones she puts out for Valentines and the green ones come out for St. Patty's Day. Smart, huh?

I have 3 hats (nearly) finished for the children's home. I just need to find that dang yarn needle (actually the whole bag, as that's what I've misplaced - I keep them all in a small pouch I made a few years ago. Arg) so I can finish the 3rd. I hope to get another done on time to send them off to my friend Momma B. I'll try to get a picture tomorrow. I'm quite pleased with them myself.

Ok, I admit I have done that in the past when I left over Christmas M&M's!

I never thought of doing that before.

Hope you find the yarn needle.

Your mother is brilliant.

Good luck finding your stuff!

I saved out the green m&ms for a February Frog-Themed Birthday party. After sewing froggie bean bags for all the guests, a homemade froggie cake, and lots of other clever and time-consuming froggie-themed party stuff, my frog lover's favorite part about the party was the bowl of green m&ms. Go figure!
