TIS THE SEASON FOR CREATING!

What are you creating now?

Amalie and her son are making sugar cookies decked out as Christmas trees and stars. A first for them.

Shannon is baking all week for her gift packages, which probably includes some homegrown and homemade herbal tea blends. A tradition for her, where she pours her heart into making and baking with memories of doing this with her grandmother.

Susannah is creating a sewn fabric nativity scene, and the artists amongst us are sure to be painting, quilting, etc.

Sharing next, some of what was shared in our recent gardening newsletter with some changes from the original.

YOUR FAVORITES?

What are your favorite gifts to give and/or receive…? We’d love to hear and/or see picture/s of your favorites!

GIFTS FOR GARDENERS, FAMILY AND FRIENDS… INCLUDES HOMEMADE TEAS and HERBS

We love homegrown and homemade gifts the most. We know that many of you are sharing some of your garden bounty in gifts. We’d love to hear about it. It’s okay to brag. 😎

DELICIOUS HOMEMADE HEALTH TEA

We’re really enjoying daily tea made from garden goodies such as an avocado leaf, longevity spinach and lemon balm blend sweetened with stevia. It tastes a lot like regular sweet tea but with lots of health benefits and none of the deficits (for those sensitive to caffeine or trying to avoid sugar). 

The exact recipe is included in the article on Avocado Leaf Benefits shared last week.

What homemade tea blends do you enjoy?

We know that some of you are growing, making and selling your teas (or planning to). Others are growing and preparing your own concoctions for yourself and your family and friends. We’d love to hear if you care to share.

From our garden and hearts to yours,

Coleman and LeAura Alderson
