Easy DIY Valentines Gumball Machine

We're getting ready for Valentine's Day and today I'm making an easy DIY Valentines Day Gumball Machine!

Let's Go!

To make this adorable DIY gumball machine, you're going to need a few items:

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

Square Glass Base

Glass Candy Jar with lid

Wood Bead

Glitter foam heart pick

Small square of gold vinyl

Super Glue

Hot Glue

Masking tape

Red Spray Paint for glass

Various Candy to fill it

I bought the glass base and the glass candy jar with lid from Dollar Tree. I purchased a can of red Spray paint from Lowes and the bead and foam glitter heart topper I had in my left over projects, but I believe they're available at Dollar Tree as well.

TO START

The Base

I covered the outside of the Square glass base with masking tape and using light coats, I sprayed the red spray paint inside the base. In total I had about 3 coats letting it dry between painting. Then I removed the masking tape and cleaned the outside of the glass base with a cotton ball with a little rubbing alcohol.

The Candy Jar

I also wiped the outside of the bottom of the glass candy jar with a cotton ball with a little rubbing alcohol, then using my hot glue gun AND the super glue, I carefully added BOTH , alternating so they did not touch, to the Top ( upside down- open side down) of the Square Glass base.

Place the clean Candy Jar on top of the super/hot glue and press down for a few seconds.

Candy Jar Lid Topper

Using the same glue technique I added a bit of super glue and hot glue to the bottom of the wood bead and placed it on the center of the top of the candy jar lid, and let dry.

Cut the Heart pick to fit inside the wood bead center and put a little hot glue inside the wood bead center hole, then place the heart pick into it. Allow it to dry.

Clean the outside front of the square base with a bit of rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and let dry, they place gold square vinyl sticker on the front making sure it is centered.

That's it! Now fill the Candy Jar with any candy of choice, then add your special Valentines Card and Gift away! Your Friends and Family will love this!

Mushrooms in a pie?... a memory from my trip to London

Before my husband and I got married, my husband took me on a dream trip to Europe.

We flew from Los Angeles to London on British Airways. It was my first trip abroad and I was so

incredibly excited to learn many things.

We stayed at a Pub Bed and Breakfast Inn and it was there I was introduced to the infamous English Breakfast. The breakfast consisted of two fried eggs, sausage, bacon, fried buttered mushrooms, tomato slices and toast accompanied by hot coffee or tea.

Can I just say Delicious? yes, we had this every day and it was sooooo good!

I have so many wonderful memories of that first trip and not enough time to write about all of it, but I'll be sharing throughout my blogging journey.

When I was designing my 12 days of Quiche plan, I was thinking of memories that meant something special to me. Foods that I ate from my travels. Things I really felt connected to...

For Day 3, I was thinking of Mushrooms. I love mushrooms... especially fried buttered mushrooms...yum!

I wanted to bring fried buttered mushrooms to my Quiche party so I came up with this recipe.

Mushroom Feta Quiche

If you love mushrooms, you're going to love this recipe! And it is so easy to make!

Let's bake up some goodness! Ready?

For this recipe, you'll need:

4 eggs

1 cup of sliced mushroom

2/3 cup of feta cheese

2/3 cup of mozzarella cheese

1 tbsp minced garlic

1 cup milk

1 ready made pie crust

green onions for decoration

salt and pepper to taste

Start by frying the sliced mushrooms in butter until well cooked. Let cool 5 minutes.

While mushrooms are cooking, In a bowl, mix 4 eggs, milk, feta cheese, garlic, salt and pepper and set aside.

Preheat over to 350 degrees.

Set aside a few mushrooms for the top decoration. Then add the rest of the mushrooms to the egg mixture and mix well.

Pour egg mixture into ready made pie shell.

Bake for 20 minutes, then take out of oven and add mushrooms and sliced green onions as top decoration, then return to oven.

Bake for an additional 25-35 minutes or until the pie is firm.

Let Quiche cool for 10-15 minutes, serve and enjoy.

Guys, this is soooo good! It's brings all the memories back from my first trip to London... eating those tasty mushrooms.

I hope you make it! Tag me on your posts at #FabulousDIY

- See you tomorrow for the next Quiche!
