Well, I've finally gotten settled after the move and have my internet connection again. =) I've been busy getting ready for the meeting this thursday, as well as working on our sponsorship requests. I've also had to hold off, twice now, on mailing off the donation request letters. While everything looks wonderful in Word, the printed piece from FedEx is cut off.....again. Very frustrating. I have completed revising them for the third time, and hope to get them printed and in the mail on thursday.
Better news - I have stumbled across the most perfect Christmas take-home gift idea for the bread baskets: Pies and cakes baked inside of jelly jars! My idea is to use half-pint canning jars to make individual pies for each family member - and then a larger pint-size jar for a cake to be shared. We can decorate the jars and stash them under the bread as special treats in the take-home baskets I think it will be a nice touch - and the jars would be reusable. We can include tips that I found online for ideas on reusing. This also would eliminate the possibility that the recipients cannot prepare the dish, as with my 'Brownie Mix in a Jar' idea. This way, all that is needed is a fork and a can opener. The jars will also store for about a year if they are sealed. =).
