Candy Sleighs. Who knew??

Man.  Those are generating some BIG interest out on my Pinterest account!  To refresh... Ellyn posted about some VERY cute candy sleighs that she and her friend made.  I spotted them and pinned them to my Pinterest accout to remind myself to make them for Christmas 2012.  I found the time and made them for this past Christmas; which were a huge hit!

The pin out on Pinterest?  Over 200 "likes" and over 1000 "repins"!  My email account is over-run with emails about people repinning that picture.  Even my BFF in TX made a couple dozen for her girls to bring to preschool.

Ellyn - I think you've started a candy sleigh craze!  LOL!!  Because I know I'll be making them again for this year and more of them.  Some of the adults in my family were disappointed that I didn't have enough for everybody.

I've almost decided what I'll be giving away for my 500th posting.  Stay tuned!

Enjoy your day!

Candy Sleighs!

Ellyn posted some very cute candy sleighs that she made a few days back.  I put them in the file for "next year" and then, as always, I needed to make them NOW.  I made a list and hit Target on Saturday (finished my Christmas shopping, btw) and loaded up on chocolates and candy canes.  Amelia and I set to work last night and we finished what we could this afternoon.  We had enough mini Hersheys for 11 sleighs.  I have one lone one waiting in the wings.

I intend to buy more mini Hersheys (and Kit Kats) when I get back from my business trip to make more.  I have another whole box of candy canes to use.

Cute, huh?  We'll be giving them out to the little kids in the family and maybe some "big kids" too.

A little bit of sewing has been happening here.  I'm almost done with those coupon clutches but they will have to wait until I get back this weekend.  Unless I find some spare time to finish those up before I leave.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
