Activity for jane

I posted awhile ago looking for fillers for my vases. I found some great ones at Ikea for .99 and $1.99. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60236095/

We are having a luncheon and I was going to have a candy buffet but my FH thought a trail mix buffet might be more appealing to our family. We don't have any nut allergies in our families. Thoughts or any other suggestions? Thanks!

I've seen some posts about cameo but wasn't sure if I should get that or the cricut? What do you use your machines for?

I'm doing my own centerpieces with flowers from Costco. I found this link to color kidney beans and use them as the vase fillers. Has anyone tried this? Do they really look good in person? Anyone have a better idea?...

Until today I never heard of bathroom baskets or personalized napkins. I'm on a limited budget so I don't think I want to do either one of those. However, if there is some other extra I shouldn't skip, please share because I feel so clueless.
