Creative Homemaking

[twstr]

Greetings:
I just wrote a great comment but was searching for 'emoticons' and upon clicking on the link to the left of this commentary section; I lost my comments I was going to send. Why have this showing if you're going to lose your message upon trying to search?
Anyhow, I just need to cool down a bit.
It's been awhile since I used this site. Please forgive me for being so lax. This is really a GREAT newsletter (sans the emoticons).
This being a really tight year, financially speaking; I'm going back to making Christmas baskets for my big family and friends. Oh, they'll cost a pretty penny too; but I want to try to keep it down as much as possible.
I'll be making sweet breads, cookies, candies, etc. Does anyone have any really good (and easy) recipes to use? What I really need is some ideas for 'fillers' like Dollar Store goodies; cute sayings, printed out, rolled up and wrapped in ribbon and any other such items. Proper web links would be very much appreciated as well.
Hope you can help.

Wishing all a very happy, blessed and healthy holiday season...

Mary
