A Mother’s Tale.

A journey into our lives as parents of a special needs child

New found hobby/business??

So I have this beautiful area for all my crafts, I do cross stitching, stamping, scrap-booking, all when I have time of course. Which has been never lately. And the area is actually a mess as things have just piled up. I have promised Tony I would start cleaning it up. It truly is embarrassing to look at.  This weekend I had an itch to start crafting again. So I picked up a cross stitch and went to town. It was so relaxing.

Well, when I was in the closet deciding which cross stitch to work on, I came across some old candy molds. I thought how fun it would be to try making candy again. I haven’t done that since  I was a little girl.

So off to the store I go to pick up some of the chocolate melts. Well above the chocolate melts I see candy flavoring. Well lets just say I have now made, Creme de Menthe presents, Peanut Butter Cups with homemade peanut butter filling, and Peppermint Chocolate discs. I find myself itching at work to get home and make more. So far my family and one guy that I work with have given me high prises for my creations. This weekend I plan on making some creme filled concoctions as well as some caramel creations.

I know these will be GREAT Christmas presents for Tyler’s teachers, therapists, bus drivers, etc. Plus great gifts for neighbors and the mailman. I am so excited to put these all together. Now I am thinking I could start a little business for myself! How I wouldn’t love that!!! I am going to post some pictures this weekend of my creations. If you are interested in some, please let me know. I will be willing to whip some up for you and package them up as well. I love this!!! :)
