My First Craft Blog Post! It’s a Gingerbread Christmas!

My First Craft Blog Post! It’s a Gingerbread Christmas!

It’s almost Christmas, my favorite time of the year.  This year I decided to have a “Cookie Chrismas Tree”. I have collected cookie ornaments for years, but I wanted to have some homemade ones, so I started looking for sugar cookie and gingerbread crafts to make.  I bought some craft kits from Oriental Trading (one of my favorite on-line stores) & put my own spin on them and found several great craft ideas both in the stores and on-line.  Here are photos of my tree.  I will be posting directions for the one I made and will also share the urls’ of the ones I found on-line.
