Not that I have any idea how to sew either - but just like cooking I am very good at finding other people who do ;0)The Bumbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334162339045336577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4254018491533840291.post-57922141160697430042008-12-28T02:29:00.000-08:002008-12-28T02:29:00.000-08:00Lynn -- A pillow is a great idea!

You'll have to let us know if you do it. At the very least, maybe you could do a pillow :) Those kitchen towels with the handle make nice gifts, too.<BR/><BR/>Sharon, I checked out your blog and saw the cookies and the white box you decorated. Very festive! I hope your VBFF loved it.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16562989307286675615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4254018491533840291.post-49295343461941264832008-12-27T05:43:00.000-08:002008-12-27T05:43:00.000-08:00Love the quilt and the Oreo/MM recipe.I made cooki...Love the quilt and the Oreo/MM recipe.<BR/>I made cookies, and altered a plain white box into a secret keeper for my VBFF, both are on my blog.<BR/>BlessingsSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00035652091924525395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4254018491533840291.post-59086720392905552872008-12-27T02:45:00.000-08:002008-12-27T02:45:00.000-08:00That quilt is great.

Now that we are retired and he doesn't need them any more, I am thinking about making an attempt at a quilt top of ties!<BR/><BR/>I love the recipe for the oreo/M&M smoothie. I have a friend who likes to say she makes her own trail mix -- she mixes a bag of M&M's with -- a bag of peanut M&M's!<BR/><BR/>Re. what gifts I made this year, I made kitchen hand towels -- the kind you can hook on the handle of the stove. I don't usually make any gifts, so it was fun to give those this year.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860698763754512257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4254018491533840291.post-82125743867692930362008-12-26T19:56:00.000-08:002008-12-26T19:56:00.000-08:00Thanks, Lisa, for your comments.

I am sure he will treasure this one. The Smoothie Book is great too! One of my resolutions/goals for 2009 is to get my recipe collection better organized. (I think I have been saying that for about 10 years now and it's not getting any better.) Maybe I will "publish" some mini cookbooks like this. Thanks for the inspiration!<BR/><BR/>I posted about some of the gift items that the girls and I made as well: http://elbowsonourtable.blogspot.com/2008/12/christmas-craftiness.htmlJohn and Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003995927332943576noreply@blogger.com
