Sorry about the dumb picture posts, I'm still learning. Last night I went to an enrichment meeting where they were doing a few christmas crafts. They did some jewelry trees which I thought were really ugly and gaudy but they also did a some really cute cinnamon ornaments. So, here is the recipe for them if any of you are interested.
2 cups cinnamon
1 cup applesauce
1 bottle (4oz) Elmers glue
Mix and form dough. Roll out on waxed paper. Cut out with a cookie cutter and cut a hole into the cookie for ribbon to go through. A straw workes great to cut the holes. Place on a cooling rack to dry, turning occasionally. You can also place the cooling rack in the oven on warm (not hot) to dry the ornaments or put them in a dehydrator. The smell so good and you can paint them and hang them on the tree or put them in popourri, make a wreath out of them or put them in your heater vents to smell up your house. They look very quaint and country cottage-ish.
So we are doing that this holiday season. I'm so excited for this season! Thanksgiving and Christmas is my favorite time of year. Being close to family, having such a big focus on Christ, giving and serving other people. Not to mention the great food and goodies! Please share any great recipes you have or craft ideas. I welcome them all!
