At chore time they hate being snowed in with me. LOL

In case it gets lost in the shuffle: To all my crafter friends.

Not sure if this is considered a craft but I just put up 2 batches of elderberry jam! 3 quarts and 3 pints.

 

[MissPrissy]

I have never eaten an elderberry.

 

[algopurple]

Very very bitter until the sugar is added then it becomes my favorite jam. Kind of like a blackberry.

Merry Christmas to you too Jacie!!

This year we are short on cash so like the good girl scout I am, I am using resources wisely and dipping into the craft supplies from years of being a cub leader and a girl scout leader, We are making Doll Pin ornaments (Martha Stewart . com has the templates) we painted wooden frames, and will make some clay boxes too! I have had to purchase nothing and they are looking wonderful! I have moved those craft supplies from California to New York and now to Florida so it is time I used them for something useful! I will also dip oreo's in chocolate and sprinkle on some crushed star candies and add some melted chocolate to chec mix - I also made some russian tea mix for teachers gifts. The whole family is having fun joining in and I have not darkened the doorstep of a single store since long before Thanksgiving!

Last year I made sock monkeys - they were a huge hit!
