Are you looking for some fun crafts for the kids to make this holiday season? All of these are pretty simple to make, use very affordable supplies and the best part? They are all pretty perfect for gift giving! We all love homemade gifts, right? Just think of how much pressure we will take of ourselves if we commit to making homemade gifts this holiday season!
Spread the word, tell your friends! Baked goods or homemade gifts ONLY for the adults! That is what we do in our family, as it is just so big, no one can afford to give 20+ gifts each year, plus to their friends, charitable donations, etc.
Hi Jenn! These cookies are absolutely stunning!! I have already ordered and received the snowflakes set of cutters. I just have one question. How did you get the sparkling white sugar on the snowflake part of the cookie? Did you sprinkle on regular sugar before you baked? Or after? That touch really adds a lot to the cookie! Thanks for your help!! Beth
