Gifts and Goodies


I love giving gifts...and it does not have to be a special time of year..just a gift of LOVE..created from the HEART.

I made this HOME MADE sugar scrub..and it is marvelous!!!



I had so much fun making up this jar for a gift to a dear friend. Actually an Evangelist wife, who is always on the road and could use a little pampering time!

The SPOON...came from one of those teeny tiny...CUTE..little ice cream cups! I had saved one and VOILA...perfect for this little jar to scoop up a gallop and pamper oneself!! I also experimented with a PAPER COASTER DOILIE for under the lid and it worked perfectly..as if made for it! A little ribbon and there you have it...A Creative Heart...homemade gift.





A gift sent to a blogging friend... "Good Morning Mary Sunshine"...her's is of course the one with the swirly colors and SUNSHINE smile button to match her personality!




This is a favorite GINGER BREAD cake that makes everyone ask for more!

I decorated it with a simple CAN..yes, I did!! of creamy Butter Creme Frosting! Sprinkled with Cinnamon. I could not believe how good it tasted. I was impressed this time with Betty Crocker! You go GIRL!


HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL MY FRIENDS HERE!!
