The Candy Machine of my Dreams!

Take one sparkling, glass glitter encrusted candy machine.... Add a pinch of frost....
A dash of pumpkin spice...
and a sugar loving rabbit,
and what do you get?
My Spookytime Jingles piece for February!
This is one great candy machine! - tip the handle and candy spills out into your hand - no money needed (like I said...it's great)
Made from metal, it is nice and heavy. I have given it a thick coat of glass glitter that will only get better with time.
Each Character is designed to fit snugly on top of the machine.
This is a three season candy sensation folks!
- if you are like me you can imagine it filled with M&Ms in seasonal colors to match each character.
see more and do the "STJ Circuit" -
The only kind of circuit training you can do with a donut in your hand!

February Candy Club Challenge

Candy Club Prize of the Month!
A 'specially sweet Lollipop Baby,
This will be the ONLY lollipop baby that I will be giving away in candy challenges this year and he will be going home with the lucky winner of this challenge.

what do you have to do to win this scrumptious sweet?..
...Well, I told you I was going to do something a little different this month!

Yes, Yes, Valentines candy would have been the obvious choice - but then, where's the challenge in eating chocolate hearts in February?

The challenge this month will test your "up close and personal" knowledge of candy.

There are two candy images below, - the challenging bit comes when YOU have to email me with the name of each candy.
The winner will be selected at random on the 19th of this month.
Leave a comment too if you like! but don't leave your answers - this way everyone has a fair chance!
Image A.
Image B Both of these candies are on my "all time Favorites list". Well, there are actually quite a few candies on that list... but these are towards the top.

Good luck

WIP

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to work I go..... But first a little sustenance! True fact.... I only have two fillings! no, really.... its true!
Back to work today - these Lollipop men graciously allowed me to photograph them without their "faces" - brave of them don't you think?

Oh, and here is my own sneak peek of the upcoming EHAG Emporium
(see banner on the right for a link to the Emporium page)
Wouldn't you know my piece would have some connection to candy!
Can you guess what it is?
Well you will have to wait until the 31st to find out!
OK - Back to work I go.... happily!

Friday

Like Mother like Son

This guy doesn't even have teeth yet!

I leave the room for one minute and come back to find this!
Of course his 3yr. old brother might have had something to do with it.
The funny thing is, he was actually licking it.. well ... slobbering it, and notice the perfect lollipop grip.
hmmmm - perhaps this is not his first taste of fake fruity goodness....

when asked how his brother got a hold of the lollipop, my first born replied " I don't like orange but the BABY likes orange"
- yes, well that explains nothing and everything.


Yep! - we start 'em early here at the Sweet B Ranch!
