Sweet End - Sweet Start

As some of you know, I am married to the Executive Director of the Gualala Arts - a visual and preforming art center in our local community.  As you can imagine, 2020 was a tough year for Gualala Arts as all events from March 13th on had to be canceled or re-imagined.  For their year- end fundraiser I decided to make "take and bake" gingerbread pancake mix sold in reusable mason jars.

I don't normally send gifts for holidays but this year I was inspired to break with my own rules (if 2020 taught us nothing its that we have to be adaptable!) and sent my gingerbread pancake mix to family and a few friends so that if we couldn't be together sharing a meal, we could share in a sweet memory together.  For easier (and safer) shipping I sewed reusable produce bags out of Space Cowboy to ship the mix in.  I also mixed up the cookie cutters to go with the person.

Photos of the sweet memory of the moment have started to flow back to me and it brings me joy to see them and share them with you.
