Our trees are now devoid of leaves :( It's funny how much they hide our neighbors around us and make it seem a little less like we live in a huge city. I think the first snow here will be really great - it's just the snow after that, after that, after that; that I'm not looking forward too! Check these cute lady's out!
Mind you, they are hurling themselves into our neighbors leaves - the ones we gave cupcakes too earlier this summer in hopes of making better acquatance. I'm not sure this is helping, but the leaf pile is kind of on our property. Yesterday, the same neighbors came over with some of her girls old toys and invited us to come over to their house. It was quite the surprise! I guess the cupcakes, and going that extra step helped.
For a quick thank you gift to them, we had purchased three containers of "Pillsbury Orange Rolls" in the states (since they don't sell them in Canada). I made two of the containers and saved out 8 of the rolls (we had the rest for breakfast). I had just made a trip to the grocery store where I picked up a wood box filled with clementines. I saved back the wood box, placed the clementies around the sides of the box, and with saran wrap covering the center-bottom - I placed the 8 rolls in the center. I added the third box if they wanted to try them at another date and finished the gift off with ribbon. The rolls are so, so, so, - ok one more - so good! Have you tried them?
Are all your leaves gone?
Any snow where you live?

Our leaves are finally off all our trees. Which I just happen to notice today. I have not tried the orange rolls I am going to have to now. The box looks so yummy, what a great idea.
As for Snow, Thank heavens none yet. We live in Utah. Although there is a nice bitter chill in the early morning air. I now run out and start the car before going any where in the morning. So as to have some warmth to drive in.
What a great way to present the rolls! Brilliant, beautiful, and so so tasty. I have never had the Pilsbury orange rolls. When you mentioned them I thought, "I've never even heard of that" and then you wrote 'they don't sell them in Canada' and I mentally replied, "Oh. That explains it then."
My mother makes wonderful orange rolls from scratch. Mine are good, but not as light as she makes them. She made them for my wedding. She makes them for me when I have a baby. She brought me some on Mother's day. What a mom!
Michelle I love this darling idea! What a great way to give your neighbor these rolls! YUMMY! I have made them beofre, and they are always a hit at our house! I also love the ribbon that you used to put on the package. The picture of you, and the girls in the leaves is so cute!
