Today I am making baskets. I just found out that Mother's Day is May 8th and I will be gone so I need to get a variety of baskets available in the store for people coming through and HOPEFULLY buying. I also have 3 baskets to make for some Mother of the Year competition - of course a donation... we always get into these businesses where everyone wants us to donate... When you are a small business it isn't that easy to do. Hopefully it means that people will taste the treats and come in to buy a basket for someone else or buy something else in the store.
I do like making the baskets however. It is fun to pick the theme and tie the ribbons. I love cellophane I have to say. It is cool to see how fun a basket can look all dressed up in ribbon and cellophane. I keep having to change out the things in the baskets however. The candy lasts a good long time but some of the other things like cookies just don't last all that long.
I am kind of excited... making baskets takes up my time. Here it is 3:10 PM and that is just about all I've done today is make baskets and clean the shop. Cool! I am getting hungry however and Jim hasn't come back with anything to eat or to give me a break. So I've been eating candy and that isn't good. I had a great bag of chocolate covered toffee that was in a basket remake from Valentines. Couldn't sell it but sure could eat it myself even if I know I shouldn't. It was still fresh and good. Too bad, I ate it!
