Success!!!!

We ARE in the gum making business...well for Sam anyway... A huge thanks to Linda and Susie for helping me tackle this project. For those of you who may not be aware, with Sam's diet she is limited on "treats". We had thought we had found a gum that she could have only to be told that the flavoring had carbs in it...a HUGE no, no on her diet. So with Linda's encouragement I ordered the supplies needed to make Sam gum she could have. Here is the process....We had a fun time with this "science experiment" and were thrilled that it worked out!


Sam checking out the stirring process....Yep they are doing a great job....


The kneading...Sam still making sure we are doing everything ok...from under the table...


Rolled out and ready to be cut


Believe it or not, this made about 60 pieces of gum..


Final step...wrapping...



Sam LOVED the gum...so much so she kept stealing pieces off the table before we got them wrapped. We made Mint Chocolate flavored this time.






The Gum Making Ladies with one VERY happy little girl!
