here's two things I'm planning fro this years holiday 2006 festivities...i've first decided to write an article on how i feel now, at this point of my life, about what christmas was and is now. a few days into the first draft and i'm already wondering if it may end as two posts (lengthy), we'll see. oh, some of it will be posted soon...
my second idea came one morning a few days ago. as in years past i tend not to over spend at christmas. a, it's a stupid mistake so many make every year. b, the money isn't there in large "spendable" amounts and c, the gatherings and the time spent are more important than any object one might buy. so this year i've decided to up the crafty level and try candy making; dark chocolate dipping that is. looks not so complicated but time consuming. i purchased a few supply's (mold, dipping tools) and got the dark chocolate dipping melts.
since i'm one who often "thinks out of the box" i decided to make a few basic designs...typical candy bar size (solid) and a few of those blaw shaped semi round pieces. beyond those i thought the following might also be interesting: dried apricots, banana chips, a raspberry jam center, graham crackers, pretzels, coconut covered marsh mellows, a crushed granola mix and dried pineapple wedges.tomorrow night is the block of time for this along with gift wrapping. should be an interesting day for sure.
i'll let you know how it all ended up...
