Thanksgiving Widow Blessing Box Contents (scroll down to see all of the items)

 Mini Pumpkin Bread Loaf >>







Cracker Turkey

Blessing Mix

Bugles: Shaped like a cornucopia, a symbol
 of our nation's abundance.

Pretzels: Arms folded in prayer, a freedom sought
by those who founded our country.

Candy corn: Sacrifices of the Pilgrims' first winter.
Food was so scarce that settlers survived
on just a few kernels of corn a day.

Nuts: Promise of a future harvest, one we
            will reap only if seeds are planted and
ended with diligence.

Dried fruits: Harvest gifts of our bountiful land.

M&Ms: Memories of those who came before
us to guide us to a blessed future.

Hershey's Kiss: The love of family and friends that
sweetens our lives.
Thank you to the ladies who donated the ingredients for this.

Monogram Kleenex Boxes
Simmering Spices in a Jar  The contents are dried oranges/apples, cinnamon sticks & whole cloves.  Place in a crock pot on high till steaming. Remove the lid and your house will begin to smell like fall.


Jar of Turkey Toes- chocolate candy corn (top)
Crate of Pumpins - York mints (middle)
Give Thanks Almond Chocolate Nuggets (bottom)


Tea - Untie the bow at the top/bottom and it unfolds and shows a package of flavored tea bags inside.  The color of the folder indicates the flavor of the tea.  Lucille got the red one because she loves peppermint.  Yep the tea was peppermint!!
Popcorn Bag wrap  
Apple Cider - Individual apple juice bottle and I attached a pouch (it's under the instruction tag) of brown sugar, cinnamon stick & whole cloves.  Mmmmm good!!

Fall Bean Soup Mix & instructions - I layered the beans & spices in two separate zip lock baggies and placed them in a brown lunch bag.  Thank you to those ladies who donated all the beans for this.

Here's the box full of all the goodies and it all tied up ready for delivery.    "Happy Thanksgiving" was on the long flaps and "You Are"  "Loved" on the short flaps.  All of the ladies were so very thankful for them.
