I was scrolling through all the fabulous crafting ideas on The Crafty Crow tonight, and was surprised and honored to find that I’ve been featured there again! This time for the Christmas cards Annalie and I made last year.

While I’m mentioning the cards, I thought maybe it would be nice if I put up a quick list of links to the crafty stuff Annalie and I did last year at Christmastime, in case anyone is looking for ideas. In addition to the cards, we made cinnamon-dough ornaments. We might do it again this year, because it was soooo easy and fun to do! Aileen, who received one of our cinnamon ornaments last year, reports that after a year in storage it still smells yummy. And my cousin mentioned that in the past, she and her kids have added nutmeg, cloves, and even ground rosemary to the cinnamon dough!

We also made some salt-dough ornaments as a last-minute gift for Troy and some of Annalie’s friends. Those were especially fun for Annalie because they involved Mod Podge and glitter. We added blue food coloring to the dough, but if you have older kids you can leave the dough a natural color and then paint the baked ornaments before putting a coat of sealer on.

Now if you’ll pardon me, I’ll get back to recovering from the world’s most annoying cold.
