I'm getting things ready to go to my sister and brother-in-law's cabin for Labor Day weekend. We always have such a fun time there. I can't wait for some fun and relaxing time. I know the rest of my family is looking forward to it too!
One thing I like to do whenever we're invited to stay at someone's cabin is bring a care package as a thank you gift. This time is no exception. On my way home from work today (oh, by the way, I was let go from my job today........some day I may blog about it but I'm not ready yet), I stopped by WalMart and got things ready for my cabin care package. Sorry that the pictures aren't great but you should still be able to get the idea.
I started with paper products: paper towels, toilet paper and kleenex. Having a family of 5 visit? We go through a fair amount of paper!
Next, I added washing products: dishwasher detergent, dish soap and hand soap.
I also added some bright napkins in the color of the cabin interior: green and yellow.
Lastly, I'm working on embroidering a dishtowel and knitting a washcloth. The dishtowel has a sailboat and lighthouse on it (I know Lake Koronis doesn't have lighthouse but it's water-themed none the less). The washcloth is bright yellow to go with the kitchen colors. I always like to give something handmade. Now that I don't have a job, I will definitely be able to finish these by Friday!!!
I will put them all in a gift bag and my daughter is busy making a thank you note. It's just a simple way to say how grateful we are to be invited and we're hoping to be invited again!!
