December's theme!!!!!!!!!

Each year I am drawn to peppermint candy canes like a moth to the flame.
There is something magical about a simple candy that can evoke such fond memories of childhood.

December's ornament: Using mainly red and white, create a "Peppermint Pixie!"

December's challenge: ship it out ASAP!

December's activity: make candy cane syrup this year!
Here is a link to the recipe I found at storybook woods. Isn't it pretty!

Jill Tracy sent me a BEAUTIFUL package. The pics don't do it justice!! A gorgeous metal tree, it even has a little sign in it and a birds nest! So also sent the cutest mug cozy!!! It is an owl sitting in a tree! She sent another little tree, a tiny glass bird and a note pad. Merry Christmas to me!
Thank you again, I LOVE it!
