"I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciated your Candy Bar
idea. Last month my husband's family had a reunion to honor
his mother who passed away last year. I created candy bars
for the reunion using your idea. Since Momma was an avid
crocheter, I found a background of a crocheted doily and added 2
different photos that fit the theme. I designed it so that I
could fit 2 on each 8 1/2 x 11 sheet and printed a master
copy. I then took my master to Office Max and had them make
50 copies. After wrapping a mixture of Hershey Milk Chocolate
Bars and Hershey Milk Chocolate with Almond Bars, I filled a basket
with the 100 Candy Bars, tied a bow on the basket handle and they
were given out as mementos. I am attaching a picture of the
filled basket. Thank you again. I received many
complements."
If you're looking for stocking stuffer ideas, there's still plenty of time to make the Sweet Memories candy bars.

GEM: A Thanksgiving Celebration
Thanksgiving at the Library of Congress
What Shall the Harvest Be?
Sowing the seed by the daylight fair,
Sowing the seed by the noonday glare,
Sowing the seed by the fading light,
Sowing the seed in the solemn night:
O what shall the harvest be?
Refrain
Sown in the darkness or sown in the light,
Sown in our weakness or sown in our might,
Gathered in time or eternity,
Sure, ah, sure will the harvest be.
Sowing the seed by the wayside high,
Sowing the seed on the rocks to die.
Sowing the seed where the thorns will spoil,
Sowing the seed in the fertile soil:
O what shall the harvest be?

adopted by all -- that the LAST THURSDAY IN NOVEMBER shall be the
