Welcome to my new blog!  I'm here to announce a terrific giveaway.  First I want to thank Elle Belle's Bows for helping me to get involved with the "blog world."  Elle Belle's Bows has the most adorable hand made intricate children's bows on the market.  The detail, colors, creativity and her seasonal themes are simply incredible!  I've bought several bows for my darling niece and the compliments never end.  Check out Elle Belle's Bows for yourself  and don't forget that's it's not too early to start your holiday shopping!

Now to the giveaway.  Elle Belle's Bows and Mandi J's Toffee are teaming up in a "dual" giveaway.  Why are we doing this?  We're doing this simply to say thank you to our fans.  I'm going to giveaway a scrumptious half pound box of  almond toffee.  Our delicacy is cooked to perfection, covered in rich chocolate and then dusted with toasted pecans.  Elle Belle's Bows will be giving away 3 darling & irresistible bows.

I'm blogging!

Wow.....I'm blogging!  I know this shouldn't be an accomplishment for me - however - let me tell you....it is.  I've been in the process of setting up a website and I can get soooo frustrated.  I decided yesterday to put the site on "hold" and let my darling husband help me out.  With that being said, I hope to have MandiJsToffee.com "live" by the end of the month.  I'd love to have your feedback on the site. 
So how did Mandi J's Toffee begin?  Basically, friends and family liked my toffee so I decided to open up a few local accounts here in Columbus and begin a small business.  Last year I kept my business "seasonal" (Oct-Dec) and was thrilled to be making some extra money while doing something I love.  This year.....I do want to take business to the next level.  For myself, that means opening up more accounts, starting my website, and marketing my product.  For those of you who do like toffee......I promise....you will love Mandi J's!  My homemade butter toffee is cooked to perfection with almonds and then coated with dark chocolate and toasted pecans.   The elegant and tasteful 1/2 pound package is adorned in your choice of brown & tan satin ribbon or scarlet & gray (our Ohio colors!)  satin ribbon.  If you would like to order (before my website is up and running) please email me at MandiJsToffee@columbus.rr.com.  The half pound package is priced at $10.00 plus shipping and the 4 ounce package is priced at $5.00 plus shipping.   
It's time for me to sign off and get my daily walk in.  I have a feeling this "blogging thing" could be addictive.  Have a great day!!!!!
