Do-Vember
It's just over six weeks to Christmas Day, but we're still figuring out plans. It's not a big crafting year for me; I know, I always say that and then an idea pops up and I spend all of November going from one project to another. But no, not so much this year.I looked in the spot where we keep empty boxes and jars, and realized that somehow we had not kept most of the fishbowl-shaped canned pear jars I wanted to use for decorating. And the store hasn't had any pears lately. We might have to buy some canned beets (I am not a beet eater) and decant them. But I am not buying brand new jars just to put some tea lights in.
On our last weekend trip to Walmart, I picked up a few things that I thought might help set things in motion: the December issue of Canadian Living, which I mostly don't read the rest of the year; two packages of paper napkins; and a set of mini cookie cutters. (I already had the red basket.) Mini cutters: I could see different possibilities for those. Cookies, biscuits, green peppers, fruit.
Between the magazine cover, the napkins, and the star cutter, we seem to have a bit of a star theme going. I'm good with that.
I just really liked the vintage truck and Christmas tree on these ones!
This isn't much of a year for cookies, either. But an article about bread...rolls, pizza dough, things like that--that's different enough to get my outside-of-Pinterest creativity happening.
Now, if Rold Gold would just bring back their white chocolate star pretzels, life would be perfect.
