Chocolate 12/17/2009
I had my last book club meeting last night and I wanted to bring a little something. I had some darling little calling cards printed up with our new address, email address as well as my blog address. I found some Eiffel Tower lollipop molds online and bought a few bags of chocolate chips and voila. I punched a hole in the calling card and tied it to the lollipop stick with a cute ribbon. I loved the way they turned out. The kids enjoyed helping me with this messy, sweet project. We were like an assembly line. I ended up making one for each of their classmates as well. I am secretly hoping that maybe just one of their friends will end up being a pen pal to Max and Sophie. Wouldn't that be fun in this day and age of technology? There is nothing like a handwritten letter. CommentsDebra P. Thu, 17 Dec 2009 07:24:55 WOW, Gina, that's all I can say! I am totally impressed that you pulled off such a thoughtful way of transitioning for both yourself and your children! I think I would be running around like a crazy woman. I am applying for a teaching job in Paris (knowing that I will not get it) . . .but just the idea frightens me. Kudos to you for having no fear and marching straight forward in life with passion, courage, and foresight. I am a little older than you, but inspired by your grace. aunt sally Thu, 17 Dec 2009 22:56:14 well sweetness, i have finally caught up on your blog and as always you amaze me. i hope that max carries sophie in his pocket always, that sophie's "dramatic flair" remains magical (i seem to remember a t shirt that said snap out of it on the front, wonder who gave that to me!!), that the gift of friendship you have shared with your lovely neighbors follows you wherever you go.......that you continue with all of your insightful observations that speak volumes. by the way how many chocolate eiffel towers did you guys eat?? :-) Leave a Reply |
