I promised myself I would not get into such a detailed project. When Amy suggested \this for me to give my friends I liked it a lot. Now my apartment smells so like Christmas. Cinnamon, applesauce, and get ready--Elmer's glue come together with this wonderful dough that you roll out and cut like cookies. I used Christmas tree and star cutters. Put them on a baking tray and either let them dry for three days or oven at 300 degrees for about three hours. I have already made two dozen and am making two to three dozen more. You punch a hole with a straw to tie a ribbon and tag of greeting and your name. They are going to be a hit (I hope) because they smell so good and can hang anywhere. Thank you Amy. I needed you. People still tell me they have kept my little coffee filter Angels and my beaded candy canes that I made the last two Christmases. I can't believe it has been this long. It seems like only yesterday that Truman and I were preparing for everyone to come. I do the best I can and these new friends I have made, make it all worthwhile.
Must go to an extra Choir practice in a little while. We want to sing pretty for you. Then back to making cinnamon trees and stars.
