Am I in a Holidaze?

This is it....time to take down the Christmas decorations. This is the weekend to do it, before we become consumed with work and life in general. But I'm a little reluctant.

Usually I'm quite ready to get it all out of the house by about January 2. Not this year. I guess I'm sad because it means our holiday break is officially over. I knew it would go too fast, and it did. 

Sigh. Maybe it can wait until Sunday night...

Our crafty Christmas

Finally. Now I can show off the crafty Christmas project Kellan and I worked on before the holidays.

I found an excellent recipe for making salt dough ornaments in the slow cooker, and hauled out my Christmas cookie cutters. I whipped up some dough in the KitchenAid stand mixer, and Kellan and I got to work rolling out the dough and cutting it into shapes. It was a great project for both of us, and we ended up giving a bunch of the silver stars as gifts. 

By the way, the cute fabric bowl you see in the photograph above is handmade by Heather, and here's the link to her Etsy shop, sewhappyjane.
