Is it really Christmas Eve? Have I really been so busy with Christmas Shenanigans that I have neglected this blog? WAIT, is Christmas really tomorrow and I am just sitting here blogging? and the answer to all those questions is YES!!
While you patiently wait for my New Year's resolution to blog more, I bring you a fun post of just one of the many things done during this holiday season.
Salt dough ornaments!
I made these for our Sunday School Christmas party and couldn't have been more happy with the results.
One of my favorite things I've seen done is making gift tags with the ornaments. Seeing as I made enough for an army, I may make some tonight if I have time.
We had way too much fun decorating these and successfully decorating the church with glitter, just in time for Christmas. :D
Oh, and before I forget, these are NOT to eat; just in case salt dough ornaments sound appetizing to you. Ha.
If you are in the area, come check us out at Life Tabernacle, Porterville, CA.
Don't forget the reason for the season and have a very Merry Christmas!!
