It's that time of year again. I only wish there was snow. I have been getting in the Christmas mood by making crafts and listening to Christmas music. But Eric is being a bah humbug by not letting me play music when he is home. He did help me put a gingerbread train together. (My family sent) He did the construction work and put it together and I did the decorating. Preston tried to help, but he kept breaking it instead of helping. I think I will let him distroy it after Christmas.





I have been in a really craftly mood for Christmas. I only wish that there was a micheals craft store. I find a craft I want to do and I can't find anything for it. It can be very frustrating!!
My first project (that I knew I could accomplish) was to make a gingerman wreath. I didn't want to make them edible because I knew I wasn't going to eat them so it would have been a waste of better and eggs. So I made them out of cinnamon, applesauce, and glue. I thought it turned out great



I then decided the make the gingermen for the tree. I made salt dough for the tree because the other mixture didn't make that much for a lot of cinnamon. Preston has learned pretty quickly not to tuch the ornaments. He will get close to the tree then look over his shoulder to see if anyone is watching. It's really cute.




I turned our picture frames into the word joy. I put all of our gifts or should I say Preston's gifts on top of the tv. I knew no matter how many slaps on the hand he would still want to get into the gifts.





I was a little creative with this wreath. I a bush by our house and attached them with wire. I was really proud of this one.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Chirstmas season!!
