Lots of messy areas to organize? Check
A darling little girl to snuggle and giggle with? Check

Mmmm apple cinnamon ornaments…I forgot about those. Sounds like a great day! enjoy!
Wait–what? How can you use applesauce to make ornaments??? Cinnamon, I can see (well, if it’s sticks and not powder), but applesauce?
Enjoy your day of rest and relaxation..
apple sauce ornaments? your tree skirt must be nasty
Perfect. And I also want to know more about the ornaments.
None of you have ever done those ornaments? Here’s how you do it
You need 2 oz. of cinnamon 4-6 oz. of applesause a rolling pin, some cookie cutters, a toothpick or something to poke a hole with and ribbon.
Mix the applesauce and cinnamon to make a dough (if it’s too dry ad more sauce)
roll it out until it’s about 1/4″ thick. Cut shapes with cookies cutters. Put it on a cookie sheet and make a hole at the top to string on a ribbon later.
Bake at 200 degrees for 20 minutes.
When they’re cool you can string them up and hang them or decorate them with paint or glue & glitter. If you store them in a zipper bag after holidays they will continue to smell like cinnamon for years.
(you can also puff paint a name on them and use them for gift tags)
Have a great day. Am jealous of your snow!
