Happy Halloween

My family is away at Great Wolf Lodge for the weekend. We're having fun splashing around in the pools, relaxing in the lazy river and going down water slides. Later this evening, we'll participate in the trick or treating and hay rides. I wanted to take a moment and wish everyone a Happy Halloween! Hope you're having a great weekend.

Opinions please...

I made some chocolate covered pretzels for my neighbor's birthday yesterday and added a label, ribbon and scrapbook paper to embellish them. This picture does not do justice to them, but the lighting in my kitchen isn't very good and I was having trouble getting a good photo.

I have a question for everyone. How much do you think I could sell boxes of these for around the holidays? Each box would contain one dozen hand dipped pretzels and be decorated for the appropriate holiday. I dipped thousands of pretzels last year to give away as holiday gifts and really enjoy doing it. I'm wondering if this hobby could be turned into a little profit around the holidays.

I appreciate you taking the time to give me your honest feedback on this subject. Hope you're enjoying the weekend with your families.
