These are the VERY BEST gifts....I especially loved getting papers with the outline of my child's handprint on it...whether as a turkey, a flower, or a hand!!

Another great idea, Crin. Wow, must have been hard to sew, did you wear a thimble (I hope)??? This is going to be a great bag for holding anything!!

Crin, I have an idea....like many in the world, my family doesn't have lots of money (but we're doing fine) so we try to be creative when someone could use a little help. When the husband of one of our neighbor's unexpectedly became very ill and had to be hospitalized it was tough on the family. The mom had two elementary age kids to care for, and, of course wanted to be with her husband. We asked them over for dinner, but she said she just wasn't up to it. So we made spaghetti with meatballs (not expensive when you make it yourself), bought some rolls and made brownies for dessert and brought supper to them. We brought over paper plates and cups and napkins...so cleanup would be quick and easy and she could get to the hospital faster. We dropped off the meal and let the family just eat together. Later, months after her husband had regained his health...this person knew someone in a similar situation...and she "took" our meal to go plan and did it for her friend. Don't ask,"What can I do?" Just do it. Smiles, Pat (P.S. Love your idea and your list)

That sounds like a great idea! A lot better then wringing your hands going, if only I could help. i will have to remember your idea.
