My nephew and his wife moved down to our area last Friday night!
(YEA I finally have some family living close by!!)
(YEA I finally have some family living close by!!)
On the day they arrived we went over to help unload the u-haul and I took them a little "Housewarming Gift."
Included in the gift were:- a candle
- two fall tea towels
- a Taste of Home magazine
- some snacks
- to munch on while unpacking and setting up
- some Cascade dishwasher liquid
- we opened this and used it right away -- to wash up all the dishes packed in newspaper!
- a jug of COLD Sweet Tea in a brand that I happen to know they really liked
- They were grateful for this after unloading what they needed for the night -- something icy cold to drink was very refreshing!
- paper cups
- these came in handy for the Sweet Tea since the dishes were either still in boxes or in the dishwasher
Here's the tag I made up using the "Around the Block" stamp set from Close To My Heart.
The flower on the top is one from last Thursday's post --- it really dressed up the top of the bag!
I'm SO HAPPY to have some family living nearby!!

I really like this one -- but since my husband and daughter helped clean the house last week it wasn't the most practical one to give!

This is such an incredible and sweet gift! So glad you have some family closer! I just visited family this last month, and it's hard when they're all a minimum of two days drive away!
Love all the fantastic ideas!
