positive pencil pretzels

excuse me a sec while i whine.

WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

SUMMER"S OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

sigh.

ok. guess i'm done whining and have to face the fact that school starts in 2 days.

no more sleeping in.

no more homework-less nights.

no more live without a care in the world cuz i don't have to work days.

what's a summer lovin' girl to do then?

hey think i'll make some school treats to brighten up the day.

cuz every student needs school supplies,

here's what you need to start making these.

ok cross those school supplies off the list and add some ghiardelli large chocolate chips,

yellow and pink candy melts, 

green cookie icing, 

black food marker and parchment paper.

now on to the how to:

now to personalize them,

and not with just a "no.2" either.

this time we are gonna make them special to help your kid/student/teacher/whoever get some motivation for a successful school year.

you could also write the kids' name on them, or their school, or anything else really.

then pack 'em up, with a really cool tag like this one, and send them off with well wishes of success.

just think what all the kids in an entire class would say if they got this!

cuz i'm sure any kid can't wait to hear when their teacher says, "ok kids, time to get your pencils out!"
