Shopping…

No – not the Black Friday / Shop Til You Drop kinda shopping (which I hate).  I am talking about your regular ole gotta get me some groceries kinda shopping… and I’m not loving that much either. 

Recently I’ve decided to reward myself for grocery shopping by heading over there early in the day and getting an Apple Fritter from the bakery as my reward.  No – I don’t go everyday… still only head out every other week… so I don’t think I’m in any danger of getting any fatter by shopping.

Look what I found today as I wandered down the spice isle…

spices 003 How clever are these?  All the spices and a recipe for a meal.  You could design a gift around this… gather all the dry/canned ingredients and wrap it all up either in a basket or in what ever pan or casserole dish called for and last but not least - throw in a gift card for the grocery store.

It’s going to be a rainy day here – so I think I’ll head up to the sewing room and get some stuff done.

Very clever......just when you think they've thought of everything, someone comes up with something new. I'm going to have to look for those. Raining here, too, Cheryl and I'm up in the sewing room.

looks like the perfect gift for my bachelor nephew! He wouldn't have to wonder if he added the right stuff.

Great idea about making a gift basket around the spice packages. I have a newly wed granddaughter and I think this would be a great gift for her and her DH. Thanks, May
