I'm so glad I'm a #creative person. #Creativity can save many a situation. I have a get-together tonight and I need to bring a dish or something to share and a gift for a #whiteelephant gift exchange. It's very close to payday and funds are low, so I can't even grab a small, inexpensive gift. I always keep a container of homemade #FriendshipTea on hand for a treat and I can always get the ingredients to make more later. So I grabbed an empty #masonjar and poured as much of the tea into that would fit. I pulled some fabric from a box of scraps and some extra ribbon, and voila! Gift! And when it comes to the dish to share, I was going to make some simple, 4-ingredient peanut butter cookies. However, I am low on peanut butter, too, so I had to come up with a plan B. Well, well, well, after some searching, I combined a can of orange juice, a can of jellied cranberry sauce,the juice from a can of peaches, a banana, and a crap-ton of water. Boom! Punch! Or juice or whatever. It's a beverage anyway. Pretty happy with my #thrift skills right now.
