My SS did not reveal herself (unless I totally missed it, which is possible, because G was wayyyyyy too excited to help me open the box!) The books for G and N are a HUGE hit (especially the Zoe and Beans one, because both girls are currently obsessed with dogs). OBVIOUSLY I LOVE THE COOKBOOK, and I have already made two recipes from it! The lunch box is adorable and the perfect size, especially for commuting. So, thank you, thank you, thank you, my lovely mysterious SS <3 <3 <3 It was me! I didn't out myself in the package and I'm so happy you and the girls like your presents! Thank you!! Everything is fantastic <3 <3 <3

ass you're welcome! I'm glad you like everything! That's my first batch of vanilla. I've used mine a few times, but it's definitely not as potent as I'd like it to be. If you use it now, I'd just add more than usual.

My SS was ass She was amazing! Not only was it wrapped in beautiful paper (which Jacob thoroughly enjoyed) it was so thoughtful and totally me. I got a mermaid blanket, a new book and a coffee mug that says "I've got this!"... and after a weekend of J having some molars come in, those words of inspiration hit the spot. And, C got J a new book, "Giraffe's Can't Dance" which was on his christmas list! He carried it around all weekend and has been the book of choice the last two nights. Bonus points were the purple peanut butter cups <3 Thank you so much! (sorry its blurry I couldn't get him to stop with it, lol)

bellaluna I didn't follow a specific recipe... I looked at a few and winged it. I used mostly vodka, but added a splash of dark rum. I think I put 6 beans in a pint jar. When I poured ass'portion into a pretty bottle, I gave her some of the beans and topped off my jar with more vodka. It smells really good, but when I've tasted it, it's been more boozy than vanilla-y. I'm hoping it'll be ready to use come January. I will probably scrape the seeds from pods and add them directly to the booze at some point because my favorite store bought extract does it that way. I was inspired to make my own because that favorite brand is up to $40/8 Oz bottle. I used to be able to find it for under $15 at Home Goods. Sigh.
