Candy Making :(

On Saturday Barbara Brower from my ward taught a class on how to make candy. I didn't get to go but I got her recipes, and everyone was just raving about the candy so I have been really excited to try it. Sadly though I failed. Her candy was a bright white and held it's shape. My candy is a light gold/brown and thin, definitely doesn't keep it's shape. I think it still tastes good but there is no way I can roll it into balls so it can be dipped in chocolate. I am very sad. I was really looking forward to candy :(. I need help!

She taught the class at my ward's Super Saturday. It was really fun. I taught two classes. A card making class and a make-a-mix class. Personally I think the make-a-mix class was a disaster. The card class was fun though. I offered a Christmas card, a snowman card, a baby card that could be made in blue or pink, a thank you card and a thinking of you card. All of the cards were stolen ideas from the internet except the snowman and the thinking of you. Everyone seemed happy with their cards so that was good. If ever I find my camera I will take pictures and post them. I am pretty proud. The thank you card was particularly nice. I used the Stampin up Parisian summer designer paper for my color scheme, so it had Bravo Burgandy, Sahara Sand, and So Saffron. It turned out really cute with the designer paper. Overall it was fun that day but very exhausting. I got home at 4pm and I just crashed. I couldn't do anything else.

Eric got to have fun that day too. He and Quinn got a babysitter (1 for all 6 kids) and they went flying. It was a very beautiful day. It is always nice to be able to take advantage of those in washington.
