Have you ever made your own Spice Blend? Here's the 'recipe' I'm trying.

I've recently heard of doing this, and find it interesting. I feel store bought spice blends either contain ingredient(s) I wish weren't there, or are missing elements. I'm playing around with drying some ingredients. I'll then grind them and try them out. My first attempt will contain dried carrot, garlic, ginger, cranberries, orange zest, and basil. Have you tried making your own spice blends? What did you use? Were you happy with the results? After mine is dried and ground up, I think I will try it on pork and chicken. I expect I may want to add a bit of heat to my spice at a later point. I do like a little kick on my taste buds.
