Recuperation journey: Crafty with candy


Aren't these candy sleds cute? 
I can't take credit for making them - I'm not the crafty type. I don't even own a glue gun!

A friend of ours at church made a bunch and she gave them out Sunday at our Christmas lunch. 

Maybe next December I'll make a fun and festive craft for the holiday season. But that would mean I'd have to start working on it on New Year's Day to get it finished in time!
