Hey Jenn....... sorry to hear all about the flooding in your area.  Please take care.<br /><br />I know others are putting up with snow storms, please be careful on the roads.<br /><br />Well it&#39;s still warm here on Florida.  I spent the morning making New England Clam Chowder and then went for a hair cut this afternoon.  I stopped by Michaels on my way to the hairdresser, and bought a few baskets and craft goodies to make baskets for my kids for Christmas.  This year I decided to do baskets for them as I have so much salmon and razor clams that we caught and canned in Alaska. I also bought them different colored pastas in Italy, as well as a variety of Italian pasta spices which I bought at a market on the Amalfi coast.  So I&#39;m going to &quot;doll up&quot; the canned bottles and have bought other goodies during our travels across the States which I&#39;ll add to the baskets - just something different this year.  Now I have to wake up my &quot;crafty brain&quot; to dress up the baskets and make them look pretty.<br /><br />Have a good night everyone&#33;<br /><br />
