This past weekend my In-laws came to stay for the weekend. I created a Guest Room Welcome Basket. These baskets are a lovely way to make your guests feel right at home. I always include two water bottles, a few magazines, lotions, socks, treats ( in this particular basket I included a jar of my homemade blueberry jam, pistachios ( my Father In-laws favorite), milk chocolate strawberry filled candies and a few others). I also always have a guest book which stays in the basket. The purpose of the guestbook is to encourage our overnight guests to share about their visit with us. I started the guestbook back at our first apartment in California. The guestbook has accompanied us on our moves to Virginia, Florida and now back to California. I have the best time reading what our guests have said after they have left. Hope you have fun making guest bedroom gift baskets with your own personal touch! :)
Here are a few more pictures of our guestroom.
Blessings, Sarah

Sarah,
Thank you so much for your visit to my blog and your sweet comments! I am a first time visitor to yours but I can tell I will enjoy coming back frequently! I love this gift basket idea!!! We don't a guest room in this house...our children fill them...but when my family visits from out of town they stay in a nearby hotel. I think that making a guest basket for them to have at the hotel in their room with make it a much more homey experience!!! You have my creative juices flowing!! Thanks for the great ideas!
I will be praying for you and your husband as you serve our country...and that precious baby that is on the way!!! God bless you my new friend! :D
