Paperwork

I am working on completely redoing my shops. Since I now know way more then 2 years ago when I started. The paperwork is a challenge. I am not good about writing about myself. I actually don't like being the center of attention. (What am I thinking being a business owner, right??)

I have my company mission statement started along with a new about us. I am now working on my about me/mission statement. Yikes!

This is all a good process though. It will hp me with finding new business etc. I will have everything Dow on paper and not
Sound like a idiot talking to people.

Happy Friday all!!!

To the Future!

My shop has been open for alittle over 2 years now. While I have slowly been gaining business, I would like to do more.

My goal for February is to take a bigger step in moving forward. I am going to redo both shops. I am going to re visit pictures and appearances. My unique flavors are not setting me apart as much as I had hoped. I am also going to reduce and refocus.

I am looking to start more local selling and advertising as well. I am putting a plan in place that will hopefully put me in a few farmers markets come spring.

Lots of research and time need to be put into this. I will post links and reading material I find helpful. So far, alot of it just seems to be common sense or so expensive, you need to have Bill Gates in your back pocket. :)

Featured Product

Well, I realize I haven't been very good about my blog. :) I am not good about keeping up with it and sometimes my posts are less then stellar. :)

There are SO many blogs out there and so many things they talk about. It's just amazing.

I am going to try and talk about my products in between other things. Hopefully that will help keep things going. LOL

Since it is almost Valentines day, I am going to start off with my gift box I created just for Valentines day.

(I do no know why I can not get that picture to load the right way. I have tried on 3 different sites.)

I did research on the Internet to come up with some very romantic flavors. I also waned to offer something a little different and interesting, rather then the same old boring chocolates.Which, may in fact bite me in the butt.

I am including a traditional brownie truffle. I didn't want to totally ignore the chocolate factor.

I had alot of fun putting together flavors. Matching up the herbs and fruits to compliment each other in flavors and supposed meanings. :) Naming was harder. I don't feel like that is my strong suit. So, the candy names maybe alittle CORNY!

My newest obsession

I have recently rediscovered popcorn. Not the microwave popcorn from the store. The smell alone from that makes me nausea. Air popped popcorn. I started with a popper from goodwill. I literally blew that one up using it too much. I was in the middle of making super hero popcorn

I have made all kinds of flavored popcorn. It's so much fun!


I use my handmade flavored marshmallows for a gluten free take on the marshmallow treats ;)

I can use kool aid or jello for candied popcorn. So many choices !!!
