Does anyone have a good recipe for salt dough? I need one that I can brown in the oven as I am making little scented pies, and I don't want them white! Thanks!
Most children love snow and playing in it.But for those
times it is too cold to play out or for those that do not
get snow I hope you will enjoy these activities.
I have two slightly-stained white-satin wedding dresses that I purchased at yard sales. Both dresses are full-skirted and have attached net slips and train. I also have the veil for one dress.
My daughter is getting married in June and I would like to make keepsakes for her bridesmaids from some of this material, perhaps incorporating some of the beading, pearls, and lace trim.
I need ideas and patterns. Thank you. - Belinda
Let the kids gather pinecones from your yard or buy them. Let
them dry out and paint the tip with glue and sprinkle with
glitter and cinnamon. Let dry.
Go to a local park where the pine cone droppings are yours for free. Bring a basket and fill it up. Bring them home and hot glue them on a wreath or spray them with gold or silver paint. Your choices of what to do with them are endless.

Making simple, homemade devices is fun for any young person who likes to tinker and build. The build-it-yourself enthusiast will get a great sense of accomplishment from creating self-designed items.
One of my favorite family holiday traditions has always been
making Christmas cookies. It is a tradition that has been passed
down through our family, and I am continuing it on today with my
daughter. This year my daughter decided she wanted to try to
make them herself, and they turned out great! I was the official
documenter, taking pictures and recording the decorative results
for our family scrapbook.
There's nothing quite like the feel of an old patchwork quilt that was lovingly crafted by hand and worn in gently by countless generations. Anyone can go to the store and buy a quilt, but not many people ever take the time to learn the ancient art of quilt making.
