kal94 Yes indeed. Woooow. That is a lot eek Ooh the glass bulb ornaments sound nice..and how do you make baskets of food items that are "almost ready" to eat? o: Sounds interesting
Well there are an assortment of ways. You can take mason jars and layer bullion, spices, beans, dried vegetables and noodles in them. Or any ingredients for a soup that someone just has to add boiling water too. And then maybe chicken. Then you add a pretty card that gives the directions for making. Or you can layer hot cocoa, instant coffee, flavored non-dairy creamer, sugar and broken pieces of heath bar in a mason jar and that makes great hot drinks in the cold seasons! You can do ingredients for breads, muffins, cookies, the works. All containers and jars obviously coming with instructions on what still might be needed (like milk, water, eggs, stuff that needs refrigeration, etc) and direction on how to make them. Then you take your goodies and pair and package it all up with other things into a basket and ta-da!! It's a lot of fun. I'll package a mason jar layered for apple spice bread with it's instructions, a jug of apple cider and cheese cloth packets of mulling spices all in one basket for someone. That sort of thing. Or make cranberry candies and add them too. Tons of ideas and ways!! Soups, stews, chilis, breads, muffins, cookies, drinks, rubs for meat, everything is possible!
And the glass bulbs are my favorite. My mom wants an entire set, but I settle on making one for everybody every few years or so. Since they take forever and finding personal things to paint on them every time can be a headache sometimes!!
