A Gift for My Daughter In Loves For CHRISTmas

Hello sweet ladies,

I thought you might like to see what I made for each of my daughter in loves for CHRISTmas. I like to try to hand make something for one of their gifts. I found this pattern called Coupon/Expense Organizer.by ISew I liked the pattern, because it was a PDF download ...... I could buy it.........receive it via email and then download it soon.

I enjoyed making them up. My favorite part was putting the fabrics together.

I changed mine a bit........ I made a button hole and a button covered in a complimentary fabric instead of putting in a magnetic snap closure. I always like using lots of different fabrics together. It is real easy making the tabs using vinyl. I thought it would be hard......but it wasn't. The pattern designer gives lots of different fonts for your tabs. Cute... cute..... cute!

My daughter in loves....... loved them!

I wanted to show you this idea while I still remember. You might want to start now.......... making CHRISTmas gifts.......you have plenty of time! Smile!

Today we took the Gooseberry Patch, 101 Cupcake, Cookie and Brownie Recipes Cookbook to the college kitchen. We went ahead (because the first day of being back at work is a little hectic) and made the...........

"Peanut Butter Sandwich Dips" Cookies...........

(Taylor made them the other day while we were at home) the staff in the kitchen loved them! I think they will be on our menu from now on. Tomorrow we will try another recipe
