here we come a-wassailing...

We decided to go old school (circa 1850) with our neighbor gifts this year. My sister-in-law had made us a yummy wassail mix a few years ago so I used her recipe to mix up several batches for friends. I packaged some in jars and some in bags from last year's screen printed neighbor gift. And threw on a bundle of cinnamon sticks for fun.

We probably should have sung a few old-timey carols when we delivered these...

Teacher Gift

As part of a gift to my daughter's preschool teachers, we made these personalized soap labels. They were very easy and fast. The original idea I saw used a silhouette of the child and had their name on it. Instead, I had my daughter draw pictures. I printed the labels, had her draw something on each one, and then had it photocopied onto transparency paper. We cut them out and slipped them inside the soap bottles. The transparency paper just kind of sticks to the inside. I suppose you could also make clear labels to stick on the outside, but the transparency photocopy only cost $1. We did soap and hand sanitizer.
