Visiting teaching gift ideas

 I was looking at a friends blog and I liked the idea of posting your ides for gifts (so you can remember later what you did ) when you go visiting teaching.  I like to try to take something when I go even if it is a plate of cookies or something else, I think it makes the sister's happy I know it makes me feel good to get something, even if it is a magnetic shopping list or notebook.  Since I have been a slacker, here is November and December's.

 In November I did a frame ($1.00 from Michaels) and a picture of the "forget me not" (President Uchtdorf's talk from the women's session last October).  I found the picture perusing some blogs and photo copied it. (Sorry I can't remember which blog it came from, if I see it or remember I will post it.)  I loved the talk and thought this would be a great reminder.

In December I made "Snowman Soup" or as Emma kept calling it "Snowman Snoop".  Now that she has called it that I keep finding myself saying "snowman snoop".  I also made these for Emma's school teacher's.  I found it on the blog brownpaper--packages.com.  I thought it was a fun idea and it didn't cost a lot!

All you put in it is a couple packets of hot chocolate mix, a candy cane for each packet, some marshmallows and  some "Hershey Kisses" (I used the candy cane ones, YUMM)

Here is the poem that goes with it

"When the weather outside is frightful

Snowman Soup can be delightful,

May it warm your spirit and your soul,

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

When you get a chill or a "brrrrr',

Use the peppermint stick to stir,

Add hot water and sip it slow,

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow."
