Wrapping Up
So, I took another little hiatus this fall...
I feel like October, November & December just flew by.
We've been busy around here with projects (as usual). I'll be posting lots of follow-ups next year.
The first thing I want to follow-up on is the Homemade Vanilla Extract I made back in October.
My plan was to give this to my daughter's teachers & a few other special people for the holidays.
Well...here it is!
As of January 1, 2013, it will be aged 3 months. Not only is it this beautiful dark, amber color, but it tastes amazing!
For the labels, I simply printed my design on some lightweight, bleached muslin and used spray adhesive to glue to the bottle. (I'll give a tutorial on 'how to print on fabric' soon!)
Honestly, when I thought about giving this as gifts, I hadn't quite figured out HOW I was going to give it. Then, literally, as I was chatting with a friend about this (the night before I needed to give the first of the gifts), I decided to do this:
I grabbed some cute green aprons ($10), LeCreuset mixing bowls ($15...I grabbed one of these for myself, too!), and a little rubber spatula ($2) at Home Goods. A little bag of Godiva caramels ($3) and found these adorable recipe cards (FREE).
I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out. Not the typical gift card, but definitely useful. Teachers out there...what do you think?
