Thanks, Lisa. You little night hawk. I never expected such a quick response. Maybe you can also include that label. I could not find others in my files, tonight.
 
I love your samples Grandmarita!! I'm going to have to try this for my next show!!
 
GrandmaRita- those are too cute! I made up several spice sample bags and put in my prize bowl- no takers as of yet. But these would draw attention to them I bet!
 
Here's what Rita uses on a 3 across label, couldn't get the label to load, but here's the words.......

#9733 Rosemary Herb
Combine 1 Tbsp. Oil with contents. Rub mixture over surface of meat or fish. Bake,broil, grill as desired.


HTH,

Lisa
 
I finally got my lables done! Thank you everyone who posted on this great thread. :chef:
 

Attachments

I bought the larger bags (oops) 3x4 so I put 2 tbsp into it with the label on the bottom and then folded the loose end at the top in half and stapled my business card to them.
