Happy Birthday, Margaret!

My sister in law, Margaret, called yesterday saying she got her birthday package.  If anyone's counting, its a month late.  Yes, I'm a slacker.

With a liberal dose of time....

But it made this. 

Still guessing? 

Its homemade vanilla extract!!! 

Thanks to this blog.

I thought I took some pictures of the vanilla before I strained it and poured it into individual containers, but I can't find them.

Margaret also got these - 2 bundles of reusable fabric ribbon.  Made from a wide variety of scraps. 

Happy (extremely belated) Birthday, Margaret!
