ALS Cookbook Makes a Great Gift

Wednesday, December 03, 2008 - Kitty Pope

Folks are giving them as presents; for the lady who does your nails, to the volunteer at the library or a perfect hostess gift over the holidays. My mom gave one to every one of her sisters and grandchildren and I am including it in my sister-in-law’s stockings. A friend of mine used it in a kitchen shower gift, she put it in a big mixing bowl with some measuring cups and a wooden spoon...it was darling! more...
