Day 2-Hodgepodging

 Hodgepodging on

A day late, I know...

1. When it comes to gift giving are you more of a 'create something from scratch' or a 'buy something in a shop' kind of giver? 

It depends on whom I am giving it too. I do like to make homemade items such as Cookie, Candy or Coca mixes. I love Mason Jars.

Tell about a favorite homemade gift you've given or one you've received.

One year not long ago, we were so broke and poor and I made Peppermint Bark and Bonbons for every single family member. Since I had the ingredients on hand, I just followed the recipes that were on the Chip/Chocolate Bags and Cream Cheese box. I then went to the Dollar Store and bought cute bags and boxes. It was cheap.

P.S. I rather receive homemade, just saying.

2. Do you have the 'gift of gab'? Is that a blessing or a curse?

Nope. Believe it or not, I am a wallflower and prefer it to be that way. Quit laughing, LOL.

3. What's something you have going on that you need/want to 'wrap up' this month?

Snail mail.

 4. A food you love that is 'wrapped' in some way?


5. December is upon us...share something here (quote, verse, poem, song lyric, your own thoughts) related to the word hope.


 6. Insert your own random thought here. 


Indeed. Think how much the world would be a better place to live in. 

P.S. I am doing these posts on Tuesday (as I don't have to be to work until 4 pm) --pre posting them. If I don't get to posting / answering the comments, rest assured, I will.

  4. Super post to read this morning! I love giving handmade gifts (either by my hand or by others). Both of the quotes in the last two graphics are spot on, Linda! Have a good day!

  5. I would love to receive some homemade Peppermint Bark. Actually, I think 'homemade' (almost) anything is more meaningful when it comes from the heart.

  6. I enjoyed your Hodgepodge, Linda! I would love your peppermint bark! Yum! If Joe was still here, we would have been on our 3rd or 4th panettone and 4th or 5th half gallon of eggnog. I enjoy panettone but am not a fan of eggnog. Happy weekend! xo

    You've got some great clip art today.

  8. I like making gifts when I can, I cut a brand new baby blanket in half, hemmed up the two pieces and made it into two dolly blankets for little girls' Christmas gifts, with dolls, does that count? I do like baking for people...and can you even imagine if people let the Christmas spirit reign all year, it would be amazing...but I guess we'll just have to wait for eternity for that. I've wrapped a few gifts already, but I am certainly not done shopping...I keep finding things that I need, ha.

  9. I enjoyed your answer. I love that you found a way to give homemade gifts when things were tough. I have never tried Pannetone
