Ready for Chocolate
I recommend a ladies retreat to get you through the dead of winter. I needed time with a bunch of nice women who were also ready for a getaway. Our church held a chocolate boutique where we tasted chocolate, made chocolate candy and talked about how chocolate was good for us. It was a fun retreat that taught us how to enjoy life with good friends.
During one portion of the boutique, I taught a clinic, (you can read about it and look at the fun pictures on my blog, My Opinion Counts), on making chocolate molded candy. I made an apron in case it got messy. Funny thing was, I wiped my hands on my pants because i forgot I was wearing the apron!

Hey, us men like chocolate as well!
Just last weekend in Baltimore they had a chocolate convention to support some organization and it would figure I found out about it the day after. Hope you had a great time!
That’s funny that you forgot you had your apron on, and OMGosh woman! You’ve lost a lot of weight since I last saw you!

Congratulation,
today you won a new reader
Sounds like you had a great time. And forgetting about the apron,
definitely sounds like it was a perfect time.
So, where can we get some of that great chocolate?
Your things in your Etsy store are so beautiful, that I think the chocolate would be an added plus!

The chocolate boutique sounds good! Homemade is the best. When I lived in Chicago years ago, I used to go to this little restaurant in one of the hotels on the north side that had a “chocolate buffet” on Sundays. Great coffee and all the chocolate deserts you could think of. Yum!

OH YUMMY!! Sounds brilliant!!!
That sounds like something I would do lol wear an apron but wipe it on my bum haha.
Anything fun to do seems to be more and more important to all of us – and when the chocolate comes in (with an apron or without it…lol), the joy becomes even more sweet…

Ah chocolate! Who can resist? I have, finally, switched over and found I’m preferring dark chocolate (supposedly better heart healthy for you than milk), though yikes! I think I would have gained 100 lbs attending lol, though it sounds like it was a blast!

That is such a pretty apron and you look adorable. When I was doing my fundraising last year I attempted to make chocolate suckers. I definitely needed your clinic!
