December 10, 2013 at 7:26 pmThis is great. I wonder if you’d also consider doing a roundup of ideas for Christmas ornaments. I’m sure you must have many. We’re planning to make some this weekend, and I need inspiration. Something you can make a bunch of. I’m thinking maybe melted beads, but we don’t have a gas grill so not sure about stinking up the house with plastic fumes. We did salt dough last year, so we need something new.
