yeah, i know, i forgot #3…anyway. lets talk about trash, shall we? I bought the wreath at the thrift store for $2.00. I bought the Chanukah gelt (and candy canes, they pick) for my art students to eat, but i ask they leave their trash with me because…geez, how often do you see GOLD tinfoil?! I’m so thrifty, the pieces left behind after cutting out the dreidel, i’m keeping because it LOOKS LIKE GOLD LEAF! Another art project coming soon with the leftover pieces of oddly shaped gold.
i am an art teacher for children in Mountain Brook, Alabama. You know what? I can make money doing what i LOVE to do most. ~amy

I’m not sure how much your candy cost but this is like four lifetime’s supply…
