side job.

on saturday, our father-in-law got married. it was a perfect day. a beautiful blanket of snow covered the ground, the temperature was mild, the ceremony was intimate and heartfelt, the bride and groom looked amazing & were so happy, the reception was fun and the food was delicious! (in the photo: pop, elaine and randy (elaine's youngest son))

the bride and groom would not accept any gifts so, we decided to make favors for everyone that attended..



as always, we made a mess while baking & decorating the cookies, but it was worth the mess & time! Everyone raved about how they tasted & could not believe we made them (everyone swore the restaurant provided them). Elaine was delighted to have something for everyone to take home & was thrilled we took the time to make them :)
it was a simple gesture for us to do and were happy everyone enjoyed the treats!



by the way, if you ever contemplated purchasing the pampered chef baking sheets.. they are worth every penny! amazing, baked evenly with not an ounce of brown!!

while we were baking, karen & rhett got to compete in a few wii mountain sport events! how sweet and filled with excitement is rhett's face while wii tubing!!




so, if you or anyone you know is hosting an event or shower where sweet treats are needed - just let us know. we bake & ship to anywhere! we have many designs under our belt & are always willing to try new ideas!!

perfect match.

we finally poured more candles!

creme brulee, prickly pear, red current with cassis & honeydew

yum.

this morning we performed a triple double test burn just to make sure our combination was perfect and to our delight all the candles are beautiful, burn great and smell delicious!

yippee!

we put a few on display at pinups salon and they already have people talkin'

what a good feeling :)

dreaming of a winter wonderland.

lots going on in our lives the next few days. good and bad.
first, the bad: karen has to go back to work :( uh' nothing makes me unhappier. the positive is that it is part-time and it will only be temporary! she will be back home with rhett in no time,
i just know it!
secondly, the good: my husband is remodelling our bathroom (which was much overdue) and i leave tomorrow to have a spa weekend with my momma :) but that is not all! it is supposed to snow tomorrow, the super bowl is this weekend, both of us have our taxes done, and we will be pouring more candles soon! oh' and we have a wedding to go to next weekend (and we are making some beautiful and yummy favors for)!
just wanted to keep you updated and did not want to slack on the blogging!!
looking forward to our next post to be filled with even more good news! xxoo

two wicky.

great success!

with a lighter in one hand and rhett in the other i started the second round of burn tests!

we found a good combo and it involves two wicks per container. we think it looks fancy and hopefully it will be a crowd pleaser. please, let us know if you have an opinion..

needless to say, we ordered more wicks and are ready to get the assembly line up and running because we had buyers today but no candles to sell :(

but that is a good sign!!

if at first you don't suceed, try & try again.

with high hopes (again) we poured some more candles this afternoon!
we changed up the wicks and are hoping one of the combinations works perfectly. we shall see tomorrow when we start our second round of test burns.





our setup is not glamorous, but it works..







we hope to one day soon have enough equipment to set up shop in the basement!

and the bottom line is no matter how deep we are involved.. rhett is the boss! (& to be honest, we are okay with that)

so, please cross your fingers for us!
we will let you know tomorrow how today's experiments work out!
