Making Your Very Own Candy
By Christopher

The taste buds are delighted with bars, but the heart is warmed by bar storyboards. A bar storyboard is utilizing bars and other candies on a large poster board in the replacements of words to tell a story. Then the story is read out loud to entertain party guests. These stories are most often used at memorable birthday parties, but can also be used to celebrate anniversaries or a retirement. The only limitations are one's imagination.

Where a word is capitalized, the treat would need to be glued to replace the written word. Of course you can stretch the story a little bit to include as many sweets and as much as possible. For example, the anniversary of Hank and Kathy Thomas is the inspiration for this story board.

....Kathy Holton moved to California from Indiana looking for her CUP-OF-GOLD in the golden state. She moved to the RED HOT city of Sacramento where she went to work for the phone company.  Although Kathy would never earn 100 GRAND, she did survive PAYDAY to PAYDAY.  

After years of dating NERDS and GOOBERS with ZERO appeal Kathy found a BIT-O-HONEY when she met Henry (Hank) Thomas.

Hank knew that he could SKOR some points with Kathy by sending her a huge bouquet of roses to her office. “OH HENRY!”  Kathy exclaimed. You BIG HUNK, you are the MR. GOODBAR  that I have been looking for!” “ABBA ZABBA” thought Hank as he kissed her BIG CHERRY lips.  “Marry me, KITKAT and our lives will be MOUNDS of ALMOND JOY. I’ll be your SUGAR DADDY and we will have lots of SUGAR BABIES.”

Life was GOOD & PLENTY for the Thomas family.  As the years went by, the family grew with the addition of the 3 MUSKETEERS, Matthew, Mark, and Luke. The boys had STARBURSTS of energy and loved to play sports.  Matthew played baseball but because he had BUTTERFINGERS and often dropped the ball, he switched to soccer where he could SKOR more goals.  

UNO that parenthood is a WHOPPER of a job. But NOW AND LATER you can enjoy a quiet CAREFREE life, still SWEETTARTS, holding hands with lots of  KISSES while gazing out at the MILKY WAY.  Congratulations on your 25th wedding anniversary....
