With the fourth quarter in full swing, I have been heavy into production and will continue to be in this mode for quite some time to come. So I thought you might be interested in what i have been up to. First up is a final product from last year's line up. This is a set of grubby candy canes that smell most divine. They are scented in the delicious aroma of warm baked cinnamon buns. These were a fabulous seller last year and this year is proving to be much the same.
I am currently working on a wholesale order for these from someone who couldn't keep enough stocked last year. This particular order is for 6 1/2 dozen, and with 3 per set, this means I will be dipping 234 canes for this order alone. Below is just a small part of the order, which I grubbied up this past weekend. I still have a lot more to go!
Now just because the holidays are fast approaching does not mean that I can ditch everything else. On the contrary. I have not lost sight of the many, many products that I will need to produce for the show in February. Here is just a sampling of what I have been working on this week.
Well, that's all for now....I better get back to work!!!
