WEll, my wife's hobby has turned into an addiction.

She makes all sorts of Candy Baskets, and by all sorts, I mean, I must have gained about 20 pounds hitting on her stash of chocolate. Anyway, as easter is coming up, she's back in the swing making about 2 or 3 a night. Too bad she doesn't have the desire to do thme full time, because I think most of hers are pretty damn cool.

Her Site

Any comments/criticism appreciated. New ones going up soon (She just made one with a Six Pack :) )

By the way...she's not selling any right now....the web site is more of a price list people just around here. I was more interested in what others thought about her creations.

Before she started making them, I'd never seen them at all before. I'd never buy one, but they sure seem pretty creative to me

Those are pretty cool. I'm more impressed with the website, thats a smooth lookin website. Only complaint, the description boxes seem to not go away after you bring one up. Small gripe, but I'm an anal bastard so....

Thx for the compliments. I fought with how to handle the descriptions since I didn't want another link or popup. But, that way works (there is a close button for the descriptions).

Then why should we calpha

It's nice, I like the Honey Bear & Taffy Mice
Not trying to get anyone to buy them. She can only make 2-3 a night....I was just more interested in Feedback outside of me, her mom and people she works with. Like I said, I just thought when she started making them herself they were really creative, and really neat. That's why I did the website for her as a suprise.....

She thought about adding online payments, but realized that would never work since she had no desir to quit her job, or make a bunch each night if they picked up. Besides, being the crafty person she likes to be, there's two levels for her. Satisfied (ie, perfect) or SUCK.

Sorry, should have put that in the title. I will try the site on Opera 7.03 and see if it's any better.
