Anyone?

I am thinking about creating a Nativity Scene and an Advent Calendar to use for the Christmas season. I was wondering if anyone had any neat ideas for how to make one of these two things. I want them to be handmade and creative. Please let me know if you have seen one on a blog or website! I am open to any ideas.

Yummy

Here is something to try...



Peanut Butter Goodness
1 1/3 cup finely ground peanuts (I used my food processor/can also use peanut butter)
2 tbsp powdered sugar
dash of kosher salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp honey

Mixed until a paste forms. Roll into balls and flatten into disks.

Melt 1 package of semi-sweet chocolate chips (or whatever kind you like). Spread a little chocolate in the bottom of cupcake wrappers, place peanut butter goodness on top, and coat with more chocolate.

Can you say yum?

I'm so in...

I am so excited for this!

One of the blogs I follow (freshlyblended) puts on a homemade ornament exchange, where you make 8-10 handmade ornaments and send them to a list of people you are assigned to. They could be from all over the country. In return, you get 8-10 unique handmade ornaments too! I think I have an idea for mine, but need to finalized the details yet. But what a cool way to share with people the things you make!

My tree is going to look fabulous!

I think the registration is open until tomorrow (Sunday, November 7) go here if you want to check it out!

I will post pictures of my project and of the ornaments as they come in.
