DING DING DING! Thanksgiving is HERE!

My countdown meter says today is Thanksgiving Day. It doesn't feel like it to me. I have to go to work today! I work in a restaurant that gets a LOT of business on Thanksgiving. :-p  I was supposed to go visit Grandma in Illinois, but then I got this job, and that was the end of a family Thanksgiving for me. I would love a job where I didn't have to work on holidays!!!

Maybe someday Jasmine's Blue Ribbon Treats and more will be a big enough business that I can just do that. Happy Smiles!  Yesterday I sold a blue angel pin and a red poinsettia magnet. They are handmade, one-of-a-kind things for just $3 each. It takes me three days to make them. Maybe I will share the details with you sometime.

Have a happy Thanksgiving holiday. And if you are going to shop for Small Business Saturday, think of me! I've got pins, magnets, soaps, and candies! Lots of stocking stuffers and sweets!

New Handmade Paper Mache Things!

I don't know why my profile pic and headline pic are gone, but I don't have time to worry about that. I have been busy creating wonderful new items for Christmas! As always they are $3 each or four for $10. They would make great stocking stuffers!


I've got ornaments now as well as my pins (brooches) and magnets. Lots of pretty things in my pretty world! Enjoy looking around!

I am ready to take candy orders too. I make all flavors of peanut brittle and also chocolate dipped peanut brittle. My dad already put in his order for some of that. :-)  Too bad he doesn't want to pay for it. He always asks for it as a gift! I have chocolate pops and cake bites too, don't forget!

Thanksgiving Widget is Now Up!

And guess what! It's 8 days till Thanksgiving! If you want a special treat to offer your family for Thanksgiving, and you want it to be homemade but don't have time to make it yourself, just get in touch with me! I will be happy to make some special peanut brittle or cake balls for you!  Jasmine's Blue Ribbon Treats is gearing up for the holidays!

Holiday Items Coming Soon!

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been busy with a job. I'm an adult now, going to work! But I haven't given up my Pretty World! I have a new cookie recipe, I still make candy and soap, and I'm working on my inventory of Christmas items: ornaments, pins, and magnets! It's gonna be awesome! Pictures coming soon. Get ready!

Increasing my Inventory! It's All Good!

 I took my wares to a flea market this weekend and shared a table with my mom. This flea market doesn't allow table vendors to sell food, so I couldn't take any treats like peanut brittle, cake balls, or brownies, but I had an assortment of pretty soaps. I made a soap tree display. Isn't it pretty? My aqua stars were jasmine scented, my rose soaps were rose scented, and my purple flower and tri-color star were wild berry scented. I don't remember what scent the soaps with toys are, but the kids sure loved them! I was mad when a dad told his little girl that she didn't need any soap! Everybody needs soap, right? But she put her money away, and we were both sad. 


I also made a large assortment of paper pulp pins. I learned that I should call them paper mache even though I don't use flour paste to make them. I think the hamburger pins are my favorite, but I like them all.


I didn't make a lot of money. Someone told me that summertime isn't the best time to sell at a flea market, so I will probably try again in the fall. It's fun to have a table at the flea market. I like to make money, and I also like to see all the different people and their dogs that come by!

New Summer Soaps! New Scent!

I decided to try to make some striped soap, red white and blue for the 4th of July! Here's my 2nd effort. It's wild berry scented and smells good enough to eat!


Then I decided to mix some colors to make some berry colored flowers with that new wild berry scent. They smell so good!!!

Star soaps are a dollar each with a minimum three-dollar order.


Summer flowers are two dollars each with a minimum four-dollar order. I can make lots of different colors if you want to coordinate soaps with your washroom. :-)

Father's Day Brittle

So I've been busy graduating and job hunting these days. I want a good job in the food industry so I can keep doing what I love and earn money for a car and other things an adult like me needs!


Anyway, this weekend I am making hot and spicy peanut brittle. My dad likes spicy food, so I know he will love this candy! I'm also going to make cashew brittle. 


So, if anybody local would like to order some homemade brittle, it's not too late! It's $6 per half pound. ($7 if you want it coated in chocolate)


Happy Father's Day to all the good dads out there!
