Women’s Day was this week, and it’s a pretty big holiday here.
I
wanted to make some little gifts for our neighbors. But it’s always tricky with the whole reciprocation
thing. I didn’t want it to be too much
but just something that made them feel loved.
So I broke out my sewing machine the weekend before and busted out 16 of
these bags, they were perfect.
Inside
the bags I added little notebooks I whipped up using scrapbook & computer
paper, added a pen to each one, and then gave them an assortment of muffins. Nothing overly huge but just wanted them to
know I was thinking of them.
I
knew I needed a lot of muffins when I planned to do this but didn’t quite
figure in how long that would take me in the kitchen. 4 hours later I had over 100 lemon poppy
seed, chocolate zucchini, banana and apple cinnamon muffins. I took advantage of Micah’s nap, but was
still baking after he woke up, so I opened the balcony and he was thrilled to
get to play in a usually off limit zone.

As soon as I saw the pic of the fabrics I thought-where did she get all the cute fabric?! :) so glad someone is supplying you! i have found cute stuff here, thankfully, but it's rarely 100% cotton-mostly polyester (and boy, have i found some of the tackiest fabric of my life here too!:). makes me wish for the fabric market in d-town often! :) can you give me a tutorial on the bags? Your idea was so great I thought I might give out some mother's day gifts (our mother's day here is earlier than in the U.S. so I need to do something like yesterday). And your meal planning is amazing. . . i aspire to this greatness!
