Did I ever have fun making these gifts for my BIL and SILs and their families. I decided to make them a 'Gingerbread' themed package that includes: Gingerbread Muffin Mix; a hard Gingerbread cookie mix; a soft Gingerbread cookie mix, some homemade Gingerbread Syrup for Gingerbread Lattes; Gingerbread Spices; a Gingerbread scented candle; some homemade Gingerbread napkins (see below for more details), gingerbread flavored candy canes and some Gingerbread flavored tea all packaged up in some nice Paderno mixing bowls. This is another gift I am very pleased with, hopefully they are too!
A close up:
Several years ago... I'm guessing about 10 I purchased these plain white napkins. They came in packages of 4 and were on clearance for VERY
cheap... I mean inexpensive (like $2 or so). I bought several of them thinking I would use them one day... well today was finally that day, giggle! I used two packages and still have at least 4 left. I printed the gingerbread man, from
Kelly Medina at
My Grafico, onto iron on transfer paper and voila... quick and easy! Love it.
This is for the
My Grafico Christmas Challenge; the
I Did it Creations Challenge - anything goes; the
Paper Sundaes challenge - cut out something by hand (the gingerbread man iron on);
Critter Sketch - anything Christmas;
Creative Inspirations challenge - Anything Goes Christmas
And now they are wrapped. I bought some burlap, hemmed the edges and just wrapped up the gifts. I love burlap. I bought enough that I think it may be my tablecloth this year (hubby won't approve I'm sure... but once he sees the table all done up, he'll be ok with it). This is what makes it fit the
Shabby Tea Room challenge this week, the rustic feel.
