I keep thinking that I MUST try the vanilla extract project with my three sisters. We LOVE our vanilla! :)

Hmmmm, I thought I had commented on this one! I guess not and I don’t want to be left out!!! Count me in!
So, you know what? I was totally inspired by this post, when I first saw it a few days ago and thought the little bottles were the cutest. I bought a bunch of mini pint jars and we made bath salts with twine and ribbon to top…I just love seeing them all lined up!

I have your original vanilla-making post bookmarked and a couple of your recipes as well. Now I just need to get to making/baking that stuff. But thanks for the ideas! (Oh! you are close to inspiring me to learn how to crochet too! Your little projects are SO CUTE!).

I’ve always wanted to try making vanilla- maybe someday when my kid is old enough I’ll turn it into a homeschool experience. :)

I am thankful for family, friends, twitter (brought me to your blog!) and sacrifices your family makes everyday to keep our country safe. (Thank you Troy!)

Many blessings to you and yours. I too will try your vanilla someday. ;0)

Oooh, I keep saying I’m going to try making vanilla. Maybe this year! Or, er, next. But soon!

I was so inspired last time you posted about making vanilla and mentally bookmarked the idea. I recently reminded myself to go through your archives and find the post, but alas, you have solved my problem. I can’t wait to do this, as I badger everyone going on a cruise to get REAL vanilla for me in Mexico!! I love your blog, so inspirational and down to earth, keep up the great work. And, especially, please thank Troy for his service to our country. We appreciate him.
