Life is Sweet – Candy Bar Storyboards
Candy now warms the heart and delights the taste buds. Smart people have discovered a way to tell the story of life through the use of candy. The story is displayed on large card stock where candy bars or other treats such as gum or peanuts are glued to replace the words. The story is then read aloud at a party to celebrate the event. These sweet stories are most often used on milestones like a 40th or 50th birthday, but can also be used to celebrate anniversaries, promotions, or a retirement. The only limit is the imagination!
To illustrate, here is an example of an anniversary story told with the candy storyboard. When the word is capitalized, the treat will stick to replace the written word. Poetic license is taken with both grammar and facts to use as many sweets as possible. To illustrate, this storyboard was written for Hank and Kathy Thomas’s silver anniversary.
…. Kathy Holton moved to California from Indiana in search of her GOLDEN CUP in the golden state. He moved to the city of Sacramento, RED HOT, where he went to work for the phone company. Although Kathy would never win 100 GRAND, she survived from PAYDAY to PAYDAY.
After years of dating NERDS and GOOBERS with ZERO sexy, Kathy found a BIT-O-HONEY when she met Henry (Hank) Thomas.
Hank knew he could SKOR a few points with Kathy by sending a huge bouquet of roses to his office. “OH HENRY!” Kathy exclaimed. You are GREAT HUNK, you are the MR. GOODBAR you were looking for! “” ABBA ZABBA “Hank thought as he kissed her lips BIG CHERRIES.” Marry me, KITKAT and our lives will be LOTS of ALMOND JOY. I will be your SUGAR DADDY and we will have many SUGAR BABIES “.
Life was GOOD AND LOTS for the Thomas family. Over the years, the family grew with the incorporation of the 3 MUSKETEERS, Mateo, Marcos and Lucas. The kids had energy STARBURSTS and they loved playing sports. Matthew played baseball, but because he had BUTTERFINGERS and used to drop the ball, he switched to soccer, where SKOR could more goals.
ONE that parenting is a huge job. But NOW AND AFTER you can enjoy a quiet life WITHOUT CARE, still SWEET, holding hands with lots of KISSES while gazing at the MILKWAY. Congratulations on your 25th wedding anniversary ….
Because each life is unique, each Candy storyboard is different. The key to a unique sweet story is finding a variety of candies to use. Go beyond the typical choice of sweets available in most stores and look for candy stores or serendipity stores that have unusual or nostalgic sweets. Of course, the Internet can be an excellent resource for this.
Try it! Your own sweet saga will be the highlight of the event.
