Below are links to websites that give you alternative ingredients when you can’t find what you need!

Printable Floral Tags | Packagery
Have y’all got your gift wrapping boxes ready for the upcoming year? No? Just me?! Haha! Well I have started with some truly gorgeous paper I found at a cheap store (it was such a find, woo!) I even bought this awesome paper cutting thing that looks a bit like a tooth brush without the bristles - you simply slide it through the paper to cut it. It’s truly awesome. I think I need to now add these floral tags to my box. I love the vintage floral designs and I believe any recipients would love them too!

Strawberry Kiwi Fruit Leather
Ingredients:
4 1/2 cups strawberries & kiwi
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
Sugar to taste (3 Tablespoons)
Directions:
Dice up the fruit
Place the fruit in a saucepan with the lemon juice over medium-low heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally until the fruit is very soft.
Purée fruit in a blender until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl.
Preheat oven to the lowest setting, at least somewhere between 140-170°F with rack in middle.
Line a large baking sheet with plastic wrap. Spray the plastic wrap lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour hot purée onto prepared pan and spread thinly (as evenly as possible) into a rectangle using spatula.
Dry purée in oven until it feels dry to the touch, about 6-8 hours.
Cool on plastic on a rack until completely dry, at least 3 hours and up to 24.
Place a sheet of parchment paper over leather, then peel leather off liner and roll up in parchment.
Store wrapped in plastic for up to one month
