Homemade Holiday Gifts

In another life, I was a crafty bead stringing, glue gun wielding, glass painting maniac. Now, my craft projects focus primarily on one word: WASHABLE

Back in the day, there were a few notable gifts that were bestowed upon my friends.
remember......

The Banana bread that was so dense you could use it as a wheel chock if you parked your car on an incline?

The 5 been soup in a mason jar?

The flavored instant coffee... also presented in mason jars?

My favorite, the hand painted hot plates?

And of course, the homemade Bailey's Irish Creme

This year, I am trying to work it out... but I am toying with preparing and gifting... Martini's. Here's how it goes. I get a bunch of holiay Martini Glasses, then I make a bunch of martini's I use that wrap & Seal stuff, to seal the top of the martini... then I put the instructions.. which read: Place in Freezer for 2 hours, then drink. (that will chill the glass and the alcohol...)

The alternative, is to prepare the drinks and give them out in mason Jars... why mason jars.. because those are the only jars I can ever find.. that are reasonably priced.

The other thing... I was thinking about making is some after dinner liquore. (spelling?) Liek Annisette or Frangelica or something. (well, not frangelica, because that takes like 3 months to actually get the finished product) but the other stuff, only needs to steep for 10 days.

SO..... If you were on the receiving end of an homemade alcohol gift... would you like a single decorative drink.... or a couple of drinks in a mason jar... or a fancy after dinner sipping kind of drink (also in a mason jar)

Of course... if you insist, I can also put together another 5 bean soup medly! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA AH

Oh yeah, I need a analyst to come forward and analyze my poll data. Thanks in advance.

Today is Thanksgiving! My kids have been drawing Turkey's all week! it's really funny. last night I made the Candied Yams, yum yum and today I am making Apple Pie. Home made.. ok, not so homemade, well... real apples... anyway. And later we are going to all get together to celebrate!

I have come to terms with the fact that I will NOT be getting up tomorrow morning in the wee hours to go shopping... primarily because I don't have anyone to watch the kids. I will have to make other arrangements to get out shopping... or I will probably end up doing what I always end up doing... shopping online.

I love the internet!

OK. Have a great day! Be Thankful. Eat Lots. Drive safe!
