Candy Sleds/Santa Sleighs

I learned how to make these from my Mother-in-law, Donna. They are super easy, and when you attach a cute " to: from: " tag to them, they really cute-up a Christmas present.


Grab your glue gun.


Candy: Mini candy bars, Hershey Kisses, & Gum

Ta Da!

If I had been on my game, I would have glittered the gum packs silver...

Just add a tag and adhere to your wrapped package. Kids love this stuff. :)

Stuff ...


These two ornaments are the most special I have on the tree. These are the very first that Caeden has made, and I think about years from now, when we're decorating the tree together, I can say, "Oh, Caeden! You made these when you were 3 years old. Your favorite part was putting salt on the candy cane..." Perhaps I'll even be teary-eyed as I say it.

What? He won't help me with the tree but instead will be attached to the newest version of today's Wii??

Well, I will still love pulling them out and thinking about his hands (which still have dimples on them) making his very first ornaments.

I am all geared up for next year's macaroni chain!

Speaking of Christmas, I came across some great tags (FREE!) for wrapping presents- just print and use. How cool is that?

And, look here for great Christmas craft ideas. I did the bottle cap magnets last year and they turned out great.

In other news, our home builder is on it's last leg. Last stump of a leg. They filed bankruptcy last month and it looks like they not make it through this economy.

Take a look at this: Too many liens on property

I wonder whether we will ever be able to move from this place. :(
