Care Package - Afghanistan

My brother is currently in Afghanistan working in a civilian capacity. Since I am not working at the moment, and I have an abundance of time on my hands I decided to put together a care package to remind him of home comforts. Not only did it keep me busy for quite some time, I know it will make his day.



Back row l to r: Homemade Cranberry and Pistachio Biscotti, Cake Mix Chewy Chocolate Smartie Cookies, Homemade Spicy Cashew Nuts

Middle: Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix

Front row l to r: Homemade Fudge, Bombay Mix, Marshmallows for Hot Chocolate Mix

All packaging and labeling was designed and made by me using Photoshop CS3 and a selection of cardstock and Christmas themed scrapbook paper.

Brown paper bag, tea tin and small tins at the front are courtesy of Papertrey.
The tall tin at the back is a recycled shortbread container.
The two medium sized tins are recycled Golden Syrup and Black Treacle tins.
