Blessings Kit
Thanksgiving is just around the corner. For Canadians it is Oct. 8th. Although it is ideal if everyone can get together to celebrate, sometimes that is not feasible. I found this on http://www.kimstamps.com/index.html
(Kim has compiled a great collections of survival kits, poop poems and other fun stuff) and thought it might be nice to treat those who cannot join us for Thanksgiving dinner. Just have to gather the supplies and figure out what container to use and I'll post my version.
Blessings Kit
Bugles: Shaped like a cornucopia or Horn of Plenty,
Pretzels: Arms folded in prayer, a freedom sought by those who founded our country.
Candy Corn: The sacrifices of the Pilgrims' first winter. Food was so scarce that settlers survived on just a few kernels of corn a day.
Nuts: Promise of a future harvest, one we will reap only if seeds are planted and tended with diligence.
Dried Fruits: Harvest gifts from our bountiful land.
M&M's: Memories of those who came before us to lead us into a blessed future.
Kiss: The love of family and friends that sweetens our lives.
Blessing Mix: 2 c Bugles brand corn snacks 2 c small twisted pretzels 1 c candy corn 1 c dried fruit or raisins 1 c peanuts or sunflower seeds 1 c
M & M's Chocolate kisses In a large bowl, gently mix all ingredients except kisses. Place 1/3 to 1/2 cup mix in cellophane treat bags. Add one kiss to each.
