Mail that smells good?

As I opened my P.O. Box today, I was pleasantly surprised with the aroma of vanilla. It threw me off at first, but then I remembered the vanilla beans I had ordered! I saw this blog post for homemade vanilla extract, and it inspired me to do a homemade goody basket for Christmas gifts this year.

I have never attempted to make homemade extract before, so I hope that I can turn this:



Into something delicious!
