Getting what you wished for

Here we are in the Christmas season and it seems like all the irons we put in the fire are catching at once. While we stock the hundreds and hundred of boxes of chocolates that are already ordered, we also have a huge Global Exchange order for Valentines Day. Huge. (The Halloween project was a success.) This time around, we've hired local disabled workers to do the wrapping, but we still have to make thousands upon thousands of dark chocolates hearts by mid January.

Last weekend we delivered the four foot high chocolate Eiffel Tower Tom made to a ball in San Francisco.

And now we're considering doing a "roadshow" for Costco in January too. We have to have an array of products for custiomers to choose from over a four day period. The three most popular would be considered for distribution by Costco. Personally I have very mixed feelings about even the "good" big box store. I know it's not Walmart but...

Meanwhile I'm keeping busy doing the labels, brochures, and order forms for the chocolates. You can see some of them here .

So that's why no one ever hears from me anymore.

And now I'm off to the chocolate factory again.
