Long life the Utah girls! And I’m making that egg dish tomorrow to clean out the crisper before we head out of town for turkey day! Thank you so much for buying that book, that seriously made my day! I can’t wait to connect more. M.

I was going to try making the DIY sewing kit in a jar. I started reading the page and before I knew it I was downloading your e-cookbook! I’m cooking the egg dish for dinner as I type, using the last remnants of my home grown red/green peppers. Thanks for sharing, we seem to have many things in common. (I am in northern Utah.)

The UPS man left it on our patio when my hubby and I were newlyweds. We saw from the return address that it was from my parents…and WOW, was it ever heavy…we could not imagine what it could be…I will never forget the thrill of opening it and seeing a box of inspiration, fulfilled dreams, quilts and more!

An iPhoto book of the backcountry canoe trip we. and three other fabulous women were on last fall. It was my first trip since I was engaged 20 years ago! Subsequently I took our 11 and 4 year old back this summer and they are hooked!

Our very large family draws names to give gifts among adults (otherwise we wouldn’t have money for food!) and she drew my name for the first time that year. Her husband had been laid off that winter and things were very tight for them and we all helped out as much as possible.
Christmas morning came and all of us convened at the in-law’s place for breakfast and let the kids open all of their gifts (they usually immediately disperse after this to play with their new trinkets) and then it was secret Santa time for the adults. My sister-in-law was not in her usual wonderful Christmas spirit and presented me with my gift with her head down (she almost looked as if she was going to cry). I thanked her sincerely for whatever this was that I was about to open. I opened the gift which was a plain green binder you can purchase from any dollar store. When I opened it, the first page was entitled, “The Sisters-In-Law Famous Cookbook” and it also read, “from my kitchen to yours…I have scoured my cookbooks and recipes for a collection of foods that I have wanted to try or thought you would enjoy most. I would love it if when you make them, we could get together and share them so that I might know what they’re like.” Every page had been typed out by her, chosen by her and protected in plastic film sheets. All of this work for ME. It was the most beautiful gift I had ever received (and still up to this day). She poured her love into that book because that was what she had to give. My eyes swelled up (and are as I type this) and I went to her, hugged her and said the truth, “This is the best Christmas, ever. I love it. And I love you. Thank you so much.”
Yes we did share 🙂

Needless to say, I have always been and always will be a huge fan of handmade gifts!

That is a GREAT idea! My mother-in-law helps with the 8-11 year old girls at church and they made them to give to their mom’s for Christmas. You could totally have your girls help in the effort!
