The Carmel Jar-by The Digs herself

***CLOSED***

Nicole was so generous and gracious when I told her James ate the review candy. She just laughed it off. I was a little more stressed over it. I was orginally sent Fleur De Sel caramels which James ate every one of them...so when I purchased replacements I not only got the Fleur De Sel, but also got a sampler which had cashew ones, vanilla, and peacan. I will agree with James these are heaven!

These are my favorites I think. Love cashews...oh mama.

The Fleur De Sel are phenominal as well.

Now though, I do not think they were over packaged lol. I love the hand made cards and the ribbon. I think it makes it personal and readily available to give as a gift. I could send this straight from Nicole to a giftee and I wouldn't feel silly for not personally wrapping it. 

Important factors, Nicole isn't just a schmoe making stuff out of her nasty dirty kitchen for consumption. You don't have to guess where these were made, Nicole holds PA Department of Agriculture Home Kitchen Certification. How wonderful is that. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying everyone else making stuff out of their home is making it in a dirty kitchen. This certification means you can rest assure that things are up to par. 

You can get sample sizes for $3.25 for 4 of the Fleur De Sel and for $4.50 for 8 of the variety.  

You will not be sorry though if you just went with a 1/2 lb jar! 

I was able to hide away a few in my Bubble Bee Creations candy jar. I think I'll get some more to live in there...they are that good!

Nicole has been generous to offer 1/2lb of Fleur De Sel caramels in a wax bag to a very very lucky reader and fan.

Jennifer was so easy to work with. I'm sure I've said this before, but just in case not, I LOVE personalized things. I love being able to have something with what I want on it. Be it a name of my children because I can't find anything personalized pre-made for them, or be it something I get to plaster Mama Digs It on. I LOVE to be able to make things just so.

Bubble Bee Creations has so many different things to choose from. 

There are these fantastic cake totes

Super cute personalized candles

Oh so cute Bathroom sets

Even adorable piggy banks for children

LOVE this tin lidded jar

When I was setting up this review with Jennifer she asked me to choose something, I really wanted the bath set but they were out of stock. Jennifer suggested a treat jar, and since I knew I had the caramels from The Caramel Jar coming, I figured this would be perfect. That and I like to have kisses or reeses pieces on hand and what better way to store them then just in the bag.

Jennifer let me choose the vinyl colors and the font. Then she did her thang. Blue is my most favorite color so I choose two shades from her 44 different colors available. She has so many fonts available I had a bit of a time trying to decide. I went with a scripty looking font called Bounce Script, she has approximately 68 fonts to choose from! 

She embellished the jar with a matching ribbon and off it came to me. Now She is local to me, just on the other side of Atlanta in Powder Springs. She was so quick though, from the time I sent the email with my choices to the email of the picture of it complete was just an hour. I got the jar the day after it shipped. I love quick service. When she said she'd get right on it, she meant it.  The jar was well packaged so had it gone across country I am confident it would have gotten to me in one piece as well. 

I think my jar is going to either live on the head board of the bed, by my computer, or in my kitchen on the counter. It has the left over of a king size snickers in it, and the caramels from The Caramel Jar right now. I am thinking some yummy kisses or dove chocolates will go in it next. 

I love Jennifer's mission statement: "To craft affordable, high-quality items for individual use or as gift sets, and to "pay it forward" through random acts of kindness when the opportunities arise." Random acts of kindness are just divine to me. I have been the beneficiary of random acts of kindness and nothing is better then being the recipient save being the actor...

Jennifer has graciously offered a 10% coupon for anyone who'd like to make a purchase. Use code MamaDigsIt331

at check out on any of the items in store. 

She is also offering up one small treat jar to a lucky ready and fan.

The Caramel Jar-by James

***CLOSED***

These are the best caramels I've ever tasted. They were not hard. I had to use pictures from their site because I ate them all before taking pictures. The ones I got were Fleur De Sel. They were heaven. I think they were over packaged though. You had to get them out of this package first 

and then every one was wrapped AGAIN, like this

Takes too much time to eat the candies. 

But I can look past that because they were like eating heaven. 

You should buy some, they aren't gross like the ones from walmart.

you can buy them at her store here

Mom says I have to give something away and I don't want to use my money. She said I could give away 50 entries to her review where she is giving away 1/2 lb of caramel

Candice is quite the amazing woman. She has a heart of gold and such a creative hand. 

Candice has given in many of my flash give aways, it's high time a review be done for this fantastic lady and her store Loufy Doo's.

She has super cute hair bows, beautiful necklaces and earrings, awesome bow holders and free US shipping!

here are a few of Candice's creations.

I love these one of a kind bow holders, she offers them in several different fabrics.

I think this is one of my favorite bows that she makes. I love the corker style to it. 

Look at how cute these hearts are!

Since I've done several hair bow reviews lately, I opted for these lovely earth tone colored earrings.

I love the deep brown and copper colors these earrings are.

I have a hard time with colors to go with my skin tone, It's kinda pinky so usually goldish tones don't do so well with me, but I really like these.

They are very versitile and look cute dressed down with a pair of jeans and a white t, or with a cute little dress. I like how they dangle...not crooked!

Overall I think Candice is doing a bang up job, she has beautiful items to offer and free shipping you can't go wrong!

Candice has some smashing buy two get one deals on her page.

She is offering up for one lucky winner a $5 gift card to her store.
