We do a calendar of our photos as a gift for family and a few friends. I do enjoy baking and since I've pretty much stopped eating baked goods most of the year, it gives me a chance to indulge. I usually make a variety of cookies and bars to give to a few friends at work.

There is always a bunch of stuff I want for my classroom and I can usually get my oldest sister, who refuses to stop giving me stuff, to buy something for my class.

That's a good idea, V. I'll have to suggest that. Hopefully, it will pacify her, but I think there's more to this issue than just a wish list. I get the feeling that she was hoping for a DIL that gravitates toward "girly" or "homey" things. Other than the fact that I like to cook, that's just not me. I can see that it disappoints her at times.
