I wound up not making the gift jars this year after all. With our kitchen being under construction, and never knowing when something was going to get done, it was just easier to get the kids little $5 gifts. But this week I did make cookies, pies & breads for my adult relatives' gifts.
No problem, y'all, hope everyone enjoys their homemade gifts!
