Last night, I had the privilege of hosting the “welcome committee” to my home to prepare a few baskets to deliver to new neighbors in our community. Everyone showed up with a very unique item to add to the baskets. (The ones pictured are only half full…I just couldn’t wait to take a picture until all the items were in place….you’ll just have to use your imagination!!!) Each basket contained a group of 6 scented candles, a bunch of homemade chocolate chip cookies, a container of hot chocolate, a bunch of mini Toblerones chocolate candy, a copy of the neighborhood by-laws, candy canes, a fresh pineapple(traditional symbol of welcome), fresh ground coffee (flavored with caramel truffle), and a bow to tie everything together. I, as chair of the committee, cannot express to each member how inviting and warm their contribution was to the baskets we prepared. How precious to have such great neighbors as mine!!! Thanks guys!!! (Even though each of you read my blog, but refuse to start one of your own….hint, hint….

Wow! Makes me want to move in there! Love the pineapples and
all the goodies!
Can I just pretend to be moving into your area & still get the goodies?!?!? That's a fantastic idea...
Great idea! Your such a great neighbor!
Wow...those are beautiful! I thought those basket things were usually full of junky stuff, but you guys went all out! Impressive!
Hey Jessica...I just checked out your blog....so cute...you're much better at this than I am. I wish I could've come to Shane's wedding and seen you guys. You're such a good blogger...you need to get on myspace...You would be good at that, too. I just got on a while back and it's very addicting! Looks like y'all have a beautiful home...and you're such the decorator!!
