::Portable Hospitality::
Bake some cookies or other treats (my favorite is definitely chocolate chip).
Use simple crafting supplies to decorate a brown paper sack, such as ribbons…
…and some tissue paper flowers.
I then packaged the cookies in cellophane bags and placed them in the paper sack.
And voila! You have a lovely gifts of sweets for a friend.

I stubbled across your family’s different blogs today and I just needed to tell you that I believe God led me to you. Your family has so many God given talents and in the little time I have been looking through the blogs you have touched me. I am in awe each picture I see and each craft you and your sister have created. I see that you are homeschooled, my children will be too, and hope that they will grow up to be half of what you & your sister are. God bless you and your family and thank God for leading me to you today.

A lovely idea! And it takes so little to brighten someone’s day. Do you put a Bible verse in with it? It seems to me that that would make it extra special. I’ll have to try this.

I would love your recipe for the cookies as well. They look like the perfect cookie! My daughter loves chocolate chip too. She has yet to find the perfect Homemade recipe and settles for the prepackaged dough in the fridge section. Thanks in advance if you post or can email me. Smiles, Angelia in TX
