I have a friend that can put her mind to many things, but these sweet trees that she makes are really nice, as well as easy to make.She started off making one or two for friend and has since made over 100, plus made a healthy profit from making them.She even has people that have put orders in, for more and the word is getting about and she has had to get a new email address, as well as phone number.I was at hers the other night and she was busy making these trees, I am now wishing that I had taken a photo for you all to see.She also makes hand made cards, engraves pictures on glasses, plus make key rings.I wish I was more like her, she even gets her daughters to help her, as she can hardly keep up with all the things that people want.I bet the post office is pleased of all the trade they have been getting from her.

Yes they are made of candy.They are a figure that looke like a tree then the candy is pushed in, clipped or pinned on the figure to look like a tree, in a pretty pot that is also decorated and filled with sweets.They are great for gifts as well as party table pieces.

I think it's great if you have a talent like that and you can make nice things and make some money on the side doing it.
A friend of mine at work makes jewelry and her rings are made out of buttons...They are so coo;.
The only thing I'm good at is paint by numbers

That sounds great that a friend of yours makes jewelry.I find that there are things that we can all do, if we put our minds to it.I think that it is great that she enjoys making things, as well as try to set aside time for friends and family.The amount of orders that she had to make as well as pack to be posted filled her kitchen and she said she will be pleased when they are all posted, so that she can have her kitchen worktops back and can also leave her kitchen door open again, as she has cats.I am not any good at even painting by numbers, but have discovered that I am good at making sweet trees.

They are really great and they are so easy to make.It was great again to see her make more of them and I did help her, as she has a lot of orders for them.In return for my help, she had got me one already made up.Mine that she made me was made of lollies and it was really pretty.I love to see her at work, as she really do make a great effort that she puts in.I think that it is great that she is able to make money fro0m something that she really enjoys, even if she is finding it hard to keep up with all the orders that she has got.

No skill goes unrewarded. What it need is a lot of innovation and a proper channel for it to be fulfilling. The sweet tree thing is new to me, but seems to be a good idea. I am an ecological freak and this is the kind of "Tree consumption" that finds favor even with me. Congratulate your friend for me, and be inspired to do something equally good!

I think the thing that keeps my friend content in making all these things is the fact that she is having fun, as well as making some extra money.I feel that she also likes to see the peoples faces, as well as all the great comments that she gets well handing the sweet trees over.It has been fun this weekend to get to spend time, helping her out again, as well as seeing all the ones that she has made for people, along with all the great cards that she has done.I feel sorry for the post office, as she has 50 now ready to be posted, so she is keeping the post office open.
