Craft Fair for those Wacky Blessings!

Yep..

when NOT at Blessings Farm

they still do things they will readily tell you

they'd RATHER be doing AT the farm

and getting ready for the Craft fair was definitely one of them!

One Craft WAS done at the Farm

ONE has a funny story

and ONE is plum delicious and adorable!

Wanna step inside the blog for a minute and catch a bit of Christmas spirit?

These we named Mello Men

aren't they ADORABLE

inspired by 

a desperate HUNT on Pinterest for delicious ideas

I just KNEW this would be AFFORDABLE

FUN

and 

DELICIOUS!

and I was right!

The kids had a BLAST making them

we melted the bittersweet chocolate with a wee bit coconut oil in my fondue pot

and dipped the mello's in

they are on these NEAT-O lolli-pop sticks we found at JoAnne's!

fun right?

We got the groovy sprinkles on Sale at Aldi :)

We also got the mello's there and the darker chocolate there too!

aren't they pretty!

see how shiny they are

after we decorated them

we put them in the fridge

to chill them out

and then packaged them

aren't they cute 

standing there like little soldiers stuck in boxes?

This is the VERY wonderful project Buddy made..

because the project he was GOING to make

he LEFT at Blessings Farm

and I had to TRY to come up with something 

that was

NEARLY as Terrific and Wonderful

as THAT in JUST a couple days you see..

and THAT is a LOT of pressure for a mom to live up to...

especially as I am NOT one of THOSE mothers

who will DO the project FOR The child

and pretend the child did it

I had to find something 

Buddy COULD do

that 

Buddy WOULD do

because BUDDY is and ARTIST

and that means

he can be temperamental about certain things

adding to the STRESS of the "sitUation"

IF you catch my meaning! (wink wink)

THIS is what I came up with

(and YES, I tied the ribbon! doesn't it look FABULOUS?)

It really is VERY sparkly..

The photo isn't showing JUST how sparkly it is

These are the "hard wood" puppy sticks

to keep your pup from gnawing on your furniture

give 'em a bone

or one of these

hand whittled by the Princess
