    Ribbon Lollipops!





    So I decided to experiment with some candy molds. I used vanilla candies. I wanted to see how well they would come out because I'm thinking of giving them out at Ericka's birthday party next month. My plan is to wrap them up, then tie them. But to fasten, with the tie, a little card with a fact about CDH. Each lollipop will have a different fact. I think they'll go over pretty well.

    PS. Next time, I plan on lightening the blue..it's a little too TURQUOISE for my liking..and hopefully I can find a way to manipulate the mold so the colors are more even and straight.

    Anyway..I'm really pleased with the final result! I just wanted to share. =)
    Mommy to a Miracle: Ericka Elizabeth (3.18.2009)-LCDH diagnosed in utero at 29 weeks- Venitlator- Nitric Oxide- Repair surgery at 13 days- Venous Venous ECMO at 16 days- Venous Arterial ECMO at 21 days- came off ECMO at 36 days- off oxygen support at 84 days- G-tube surgery at 78 days- home at 100 days..FINALLY! I'm so proud of her and all the progress we have made! All meds and g-tube DC'd on May 5th- 2010. She's still a skinny minny but she's healthy and happy! She's amazing!
