end of the year gift

in my usual fashion, i am still not finished with the end of the year gifts, but i do have a few to show you! 

i used the same instructions for the flour sack dish towels that i made a couple weeks ago for the thank you gift.  you can find the instructions here

yes, these are the dish towels that i sacrificed my dignity for last week.

anyhoo--i used the Berry Delicious Muffin Mix from Gooseberry Patch's "More Gifts For Giving".  LOVE their books!(i only own this one--but i love them all, go figure! lol)  since her teacher and aides will have the mornings off for two weeks, i thought that a nice freshly baked muffin would be a nice treat.
combine the following in a large mixing bowl;place in a large cellophane or zippie bag: 
1 1/2 c flour
1 c quick cooking oats
1/4 c packed brown sugar
1 tbs baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
attach instructions:
Pour muffin mix in a large bowl; add one cup milk, one beaten egg and 3 tbs vegetable oil.  Gently fold in 2 1/4 c berries.  Fill paper-lined muffin cups 2/3 full.  Bake @ 425 for 25-30 minutes or until tops are golden.  Makes one dozen.

in a small zippie bag, i place a recipe card with the full ingredients list and instructions--you know, i case they want more, and i also included 30 muffin papers.(the kind you buy in a 90 pack for .89!)

place mix(with instructions) and zippie bag in the center of your newly spruced up dish clothe, and tie with a ribbon.  done!

  this would be a great addition to any gift basket as well...throw in a strawberry plant and a wooden spoon...hmmm, i'm thinking hostess gift for the next party we go to!! 

happy end-of-the-year!!!
