Find a job you love....

My mother has given me loads of advice of the course of my life. Some has fallen on deaf ears,...ok, ok, most of it.  But some has been truly a goldmine of knowledge.

1 such piece of advice she told me was...

" Find what you love most in this world, 

then find a way to make money doing it! "

That little gem still sits with me.

But I'm getting ahead of myself....onto the blog!

Mention the word, PlayDough to my mother and she will go into a 30 minute babble about how I, as a young child( 6-8 yrs. old) used to make the most wonderful miniature food with my PlayDough. Bacon & Eggs, ice cream, hamburgers, and my favorite, birthday cake. I really couldn't tell you why I've always had a love an fascination with making these little mini goodies. But, what I can tell you is that the love has never died. When I see a container of Playdough, I light up & giggle like a 3 yr. old.

My daughter, who just turned 10 has really been into these miniature food jewelry pieces lately. I bought a necklace for her with a smiling marshmallow and the moment I saw it, all those giddy feelings came back in a "whoosh"

I quickly found out what type of clay was used, etc...and ran to my nearest Michael's . The clay is pretty cheap, so you know I had to buy just about every color they make....yeah, no one can ever complain about me doing a half-ass way of anything. It's either all or nothing with me LOL

I had a bit of down time this morning, so I pulled out the clay with my daughter eagerly peering over my shoulder. As per her request, this what I made for her.

 

  

 

It was pure innocent joy that I felt while making these.

Somehow, I know that a pile of these gems will grow quite rapidly, and with that, perhaps a new business will bloom?

My mother's words quickly ran back into my head, and I couldn't help but think...

  Should I sell these?

What do YOU think?
