Instead I&#8217;m including a picture of them all packaged &#8212; using my local butcher&#8217;s <a title=\"Butcher's Block\" href=\"http:\/\/www.braborestaurant.com\/alexandria-butchers-block.php\" target=\"_blank\">Butcher Block<\/a> brown bags. You can tell how much we frequent this place right up the street and this is only a quarter of the bags that I&#8217;ve saved with the intention of returning them someday. Glad I hadn&#8217;t recycled them yet. I had just enough to use in the same size.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Homemade-Gifts_AIE.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5512\" title=\"Homemade-Gifts_AIE\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Homemade-Gifts_AIE.jpg\" alt=\"Homemade-Gifts_AIE, as seen on Art Is Everywhere_AIE\" width=\"478\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Homemade-Gifts_AIE.jpg 478w, https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Homemade-Gifts_AIE-224x300.jpg 224w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>With no extra cost for these gifts, I used fresh pumpkin from the large Halloween one I had that surprisingly had not gone bad by this time. It all started because I wanted to show my son how to bake it since we had a conversation about pumpkin bread and he didn&#8217;t remember me making it this way back in the heyday of my motherhood. This 12 pound pumpkin supplied about 20 cups of fresh pumpkin to use. I only used the small container we filed with 4 cups for this effort. I was happy to have packaging on hand to use to as gift wrap and voila. Often times such serendipity cannot be planned.<\/p>\n<p>I think they came out pretty nicely, considering both the pumpkin bread and the make-do-with-what-you-have-on-hand packaging were not planned as gifts until they happened &#8212; a little scrumptious artful surprise. Plus, I really like my new Butterfly Mirrored Trays that I found on sale by <a title=\"Three Hands\" href=\"http:\/\/www.threehands.com\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Three Hands<\/a>.\u00a0 I was inspired to get them after my mother-in-law showed me the lovely one she had from her mother &#8212; authentic vintage and more interesting and even well made than these, however. I had to glue on the bottom mirror edge of the blue butterfly tray after it arrived unhinged. I looked on the back and it was made in China. Ugh. There was no way to know this while ordering online but they are pretty.<\/p>\n<p><a
