Winter Pail

I love this holiday season, but I'm not fond of the cold weather. I'm okay with shorts & t-shirts year round, but I'm in the wrong part of the country for that. Luckily we don't get much snow here where I am, maybe once a year we get a light dusting.

I received some wonderful apple butter from one of my husband's co-workers and it was wrapped in this tissue paper. I set it aside to use and thought this little pail would be perfect with it. I plan to give this away for a Christmas gift with some goodies wrapped in. I find myself reaching for those alterables this year instead of running out and buying a bunch of gifts for teachers, bus drivers, daycare providers, etc.
