Oh, my Sweetness!

I've now been immortalized in a LOLLIPOP!

The DoubleDippedSweets caramel sour apple lollipop



The description says:
Vintage Confections
Pucker up! Sour apple lollipop drenched in caramel. A sweet and sour treat that can usually only be found at Halloween time by a famous candy maker. Now you can have these delicious pops year round and they're better because they're made by me.

These are not so sour that you'll actually tear up but they have a bit of a bite that is quickly eased by the sweetness of caramel. These suckers are inspired by fellow Etsian and TeamEEat member, DoubleDippedSweets who offers a caramel apple selection like no other. Thanks DD! Check out her shop after you're done purchasing these: http://doubledippedsweets.etsy.com

Six lollipops to an order. Each are individually wrapped. Perfect for gift giving. Each pop is about 2" in diameter.



THANK YOU HEATHER OF VINTAGE CONFECTIONS!

Be sure to check out the rest of her shop! It's sinfully sweet and delightful!

Memorial Day and "The Good Guys"


How was your Memorial Weekend? I hope that you all enjoyed it, and stayed safe. I wanted to share a little tidbit straight from the mouth of my 3yr old daughter. It really caused me to think about what Memorial Day is all about.

Sunday, we went with Mark's family, and visited numerous family grave sites throughout Utah. As we were driving around one cemetery to get to the far side, we drove up a hill, looking down at a field of military graves. Lines of white markers with the American flag proudly waving. My kids noticed this and asked what they were for.

"Those are the graves of the men and women who fought in wars for our country. They helped to keep our country safe, and to keep us free." A simple explanation for young kids.

"Oohh..." Said my 3-yr old. "The good guys."

Mark and I had a good chuckle over that, but in all seriousness, they are the "Good guys".

THANK YOU to all those that serve our country. You put your life in danger so that we can live ours as we wish. Thank you.

Bounds of Creativity Unlimited

Posted: 02 Apr 2009 01:00 AM PDT

"If you are a mother, you participate with God in His work of creation—not only by providing physical bodies for your children but also by teaching and nurturing them. If you are not a mother now, the creative talents you develop will prepare you for that day, in this life or the next."You may think you don't have talents, but that is a false assumption, for we all have talents and gifts, every one of us (see D&C 46:11–12). The bounds of creativity extend far beyond the limits of a canvas or a sheet of paper and do not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before—colorful gardens, harmonious homes, family memories, flowing laughter."What you create doesn't have to be perfect. . . . Don't let the voices of critics paralyze you—whether that voice comes from the outside or the inside."If you still feel incapable of creating, start small. Try to see how many smiles you can create, write a letter of appreciation, learn a new skill, identify a space and beautify it."

Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Happiness, Your Heritage," Ensign, Nov. 2008, 119
