DECK THE HOLIDAY'S

   I certainly have been enjoying a lot of pumpkin lately and in particular I have been enjoying transforming the pumpkin pie flavours into different dishes. When I came across the idea of a  pumpkin pie white hot chocolate  recently on  The Luna Cafe  I knew immediatly what my next pumpkin pie experiment was going to be.

Giant Craft Stick Snowflakes I could hardly wait to show you this Popsicle stick craft! These snowflakes are fun, easy, and so inexpensive to make. The smallest snowflake is 12 inches across; the largest is 24 inches. I had some rhinestones left over from my  Christmas tree advent calendar , so I glued some at the tips of each white snowflake.

Hang them in your window, over a door instead of a wreath, or from the ceiling.
