Whew ... finally a few minutes to sit down and post a blog. Life has been a whirlwind of emotional challenges to say the least. We are experiencing some very serious concerns with one of our children and have been called into several 'emergency team meetings'. I feel my confidence as a parent and as a psychology major are being challenged to the very core. I have been in a very serious depression - yes, I'm sure the holiday season added to the bulk of things has had an impact. The craft fair went pretty well and though my items were priced very low I actually made a profit! I made a bunch of these cute little 'Maple Boxes' for my sister in Virginia and filled them with pure Vermont maple candies! I thought that they were perfect for her. I wanted to share my 'big seller' at the craft fair. I found a stash of these boxes that SU sold years ago before the dies evolved. I stamped on them with white craft ink and added a tag to them. Originally I filled them with Xmas candy. However, I was across from a Lia Sophia booth where a lady was selling all of her inventory at discounted prices. I overheard a comment from someone who made a purchase that she wished the jewelry came in boxes. I opened these boxes and emptied out the candy and voila - cute little jewelry gift boxes! They were an instant hit! Thanks for stopping by. I'm off to blog hop before curling up with a novel (yes a novel and not a text book!! The semester has ended and I have a month off!)
Blessings,

Her sister in Virginia LOVED the boxes and maple candy...as well as the AMAZING cards and other goodies that arrived on her doorstep earlier this week. :-)
12 days and a wake-up, Sambo! Can't wait to see you! I know things have been rough. I'm hoping a little sister time will help...
Love & hugs,
The Sister in VA
