For those of you unaccustomed to hitting the trails, G.O.R.P. is an acronym for “Gobs—or Good Old–Raisins and Peanuts”, or “Granola Oats Raisins and Peanuts”, or “Gobs of Raw Protein”. In a nutshell (make that a peanut one), it is trail mix. It is easy to make, yummy to eat, and pleases most people. When I saw this idea in recent parenting magazine (sorry, can’t remember the source), I decided it would be a great way of letting all of the teachers, bus drivers, nursery workers, and babysitters know that they are appreciated. I also don’t feel like doing Christmas cookies for all of these people, so figure this will get me off the hook from going frantic in the kitchen in a few weeks time. 🙂
I love sharing cute ideas and I’m hoping that you will return the favor! The tags on the bags were made on scrapblog.com, exported as JPEG’s and then printed from Word. (It sounds more complicated than it really is. Trust me, if I can do it anybody can.) Scrapblog is a wonderful, FREE program. My blog header was also made on there. Enjoy!
p.s. The magazine didn’t call it Gratefulness GORP…that was my own touch. The article also suggested that you use candy corns to represent the maize used in the originial Thanksgiving. I couldn’t find candy corns in the store and already had M&M’s on hand. Besides, how could a food item be from me and NOT contain chocolate??? Unthinkable.

What a great idea and thanks for the info on the scrapbooking page… I wondered where you got your great heading!
That’s a GREAT idea! I like that better than rushing to make Christmas cookies for people who are probably already eating too much sweet stuff anyway. 🙂
And your header looks fantastic, by the way!
what a great idea! may need to remember that for christmas time.
Super cute! Maybe I’ll find time to do this! 🙂 Yeah, right!!!
