As the temperatures drop outside, we are having the time of our lives preparing endless crafty gifts in our warm cozy home. In addition to canned apple pie filling and pears and applesauce, we have created colorful melted crayons, rice-filled hand warming bags, healing lip balm and salve, and are sharing herbs and recipes. Most of these projects were created with things we have on hand (We openly welcome our friends' old things!) or at local library activities. Here are photos of what is on our kitchen table at the moment. Happy winter crafting!
