A few years ago I made a candy purse for my niece - and some other young lady saw it and oohed and aahed over it and so, of course, I felt like I needed to make her one....so I did....and then her friend wanted one....naturally, I couldn't have her feeling badly at my expense so I made one for the friend...and then what do you know? Another friend popped up! Suffice to say I've made about 25 of these little things - each one using 25 or so different candy wrappers...at a buck a piece....do the math. So I retired from candy purse making...or so I thought.
A few months back another young friend reminded me that she saw one of the first candy purses that I made years ago and that she just LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it....what could I do? I had to make her one! This is it - I'm going to give it to her tomorrow and swear her to secrecy - she can tell NO ONE who made it...because I am once again out of the candy purse business....and the candy from all those wrappers? Where do you think it went?!? One more reason never to make another one!
