Gift Baskets

Gift baskets are a great idea and are easy to make. My big problem is that I never have a reason to make one. As it happens, I friend from high school is just about to close on a vacation condo here in Ft Lauderdale. Guess what I'm making? (that's rhetorical of course). Here's the beginnings of it.....

I've started out with some dollar store finds, 2 mugs, a basket and some raffia filler. I purchased this piece of batik from our new Joann's, conveniently located just next door to the dollar store. I'll be making 2 coiled fabric coasters. Then all I need is some fancy coffee and cookies from the supermarket. It's going to turn out great.
