Miniature Treat Bags!

Sooooooo.... as you guys know- I have been working on some mini candies! I haven't been able to devote the time that I initially wanted on the mini candy, so I have come up with a compromise for myself! I have taken the finished candy that I have and sorted it all into treat bags! I have a few of them listed, but first lets have a looksie!

Each bag has 18 pieces! Exactly what you see in the images above and below! I had a ton of fun making the different types of candies... and I will TOTALLY make more in the future. I have just been getting out of the Halloween mood and into the CHRISTMAS one! :D Obviously its a bit early... I know that. I just have a lot of fun Christmas/Holiday ideas that I want to make a reality. Now that I think about it... I haven't really made that many Christmas miniatures in the past.... Hopefully I can make up for that this year!

This is how you would get the treat bags if you were to buy one (or more) from my Etsy shoppe.

Besides switching my brain to Christmas-mode, I am also working on a contest for a group I am in over at deviantART. The group just reached 2000 members and the contest theme is "PARTY!" I'm gonna try to really have fun with this one!

The candy bags are listed HERE.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Jack O'Lanterns, Pumpkins, and Candy!

If it isn't the warm colors or the cool crisp air that I long for, it's the sweet potato and pumpkin spice concoctions along... with cozy clothes! And THEN throw Halloween and Thanksgiving in the mix and I'm done. Just done! Oh! And my birthday! All of these are reasons that I love Fall. There are plenty more... but I already have a ton to share with you guys, so I will stop there!

I have been ~super~ busy this week! I knew I wanted to go ahead and get a jump-start on Halloween/Autumn minis... but I had no idea how inspired I would actually get! Take a look at what I have been working on!

***Oh, and if you are interesting in purchasing any of these items you can find them in my Etsy shop! Everything in the following post has been listed!  ***

Pumpkins!________________________________________________________

So far I have 4 sizes of pumpkins. They range from about a quarter of an inch to over an inch. I have also been playing around with multiple colors... At the moment I have plenty of white and green pumpkins.

This is my first time making listings like this... where I take pictures of a group of items and then label the different styles/items. Does anyone out there have any advice for doing this? I would hate for someone to get confused between the listings!

Candies!__________________________________________________________

As some of you may know, I am slowly trying to build up a large variety of candy. Not only for Halloween, though! I would really love to build an entire candy shop display. *flashbacks from childhood, anyone?*

 Here we have chocolate bars (partially inspired by those of Stéphanie Kilgast of PetitPlat), jawbreakers, caramel creams, gummy worms, saltwater taffy, and chocolate malts- all of which are childhood favorites.

 Not only do I find making miniature candy highly meditative... it's quite nostalgic. I remember eating on jawbreakers for days, competing with the neighborhood kids to see who could get to the center first... and always finding caramel creams in my uncle's candy dishes... and being treated to saltwater taffy on trips to the beach and the mountains.

Jack O'Lanterns!___________________________________________________

They'rrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeee backkkkkkkkk! With a twist!

These are only the first of many to come.... I thoroughly enjoy making these little guys! Right now I have 4 medium green, 4 medium white, and 1 large green jack o'lanterns. What do you guys think about the new colors? Personally, I am starting to prefer the white and green pumpkins of the oranges ones... but hey, that could be because they are new! :)

Like I said, all of these items have been listed! They will all be added to the new Autumn 2013 section in my Etsy shop! :)

Thank you guys so much for stopping by!

P.S. I'm going to spend the weekend relaxing with some family out of town! Probably going to take just enough supplies to work on something while I am there! How are you guys spending your weekend?

1:12 Scale Gummy Worms

I made some more!!! I know last time when I posted these, I sold them within a day. A DAY. So, i figured I would make some more so that someone else can get some mini gummy worms!

A penny for scale ;)

There is a variety of colors!

I listed two!

Each jar is FULL of gummy worms!

I really like making things like this that require a TON of the same thing. I start making them and get lost in a good song or in my head. If you would like to purdchase these check out the Etsy listing here-
