almost done!

the other day dallas informed me that i should blog.  yes, i'm sorry cyber friends, i've been pretty laxed about it lately.  however... i do have good reason!

during the month of november i launched pre-Christmas chocolate sales.  i'ts a great way to get a somewhat of a guesstimate on how many chocolates to make. 

this is the best picture i could find of my booth.  it looks much better than this

starting the weekend before thanksgiving, i've been pulling quite a few 14-16 hr days to get all my chocolates made, wrapped, packaged and sent.  my sister was out 1 week to help out with the Firefly handmade holiday market (in boulder) the 6-8.  our booth was SUPER busy.  so busy that saturday we didn't move.  no food, no bathrooms, just a constant influx of people.  which was super.  i was really pleased with how the market went.

vacation

afterward, beezer and i went home to help a full day of cow working.  it was great to finally be done with work stuff and on vacation.   ....  until i got THE EMAIL.  the email saying that there was a really strong request from people to have the market AGAIN the 21-22.  i was in a good mood and said that of course i would do this again.  then i came home.  and realized what i really signed up for.  which was 1 week of replicating my inventory from round 1.  additionally, i was out of boxes and have to make all these too.  so right now i'm staring down at only 5 more days until my real break.  every day i tell myself that "i can do this" only to be totally exhausted by the end.  ezra is having pooper problems again, the weather is too nice to be working inside and that might sum things
up! 

so!  if you are in need of some fabulous handmade gifts, come by 16&pearl in boulder this saturday and sunday (21-22) from 10-5 both days.  you can grab a sample from my mom or pay me for chocolates to take home.  either way, it will be a delicious start to your Christmas season.  seriously--come.  it's a good time.
