Homemade for the Holidays!


I've been busy making things for the holidays. One of my favorite things to do!
 
Here I made caramels.... soooo delicious! I followed this recipe, but added sea salt into the mix and then added it to the top after laying it out in the pan. I couldn't get Bubba away from them!
 
 
Vanilla extract that I started 6 months ago.

 
These are simmer potpourri bags. I used my dehydrator and dried up some oranges, apples and lemons. I then added cinnamon sticks, allspice, nutmeg and some cloves.

 
These are just salt dough ornaments. Rowan had a great time helping make these! We used cookie cutters and put them in the oven at a low temp and then dried them for a day. Painted, stamped and tied off with bakers twine!

 
Voila!
 
I also planted some paperwhites about a month ago, into some vases from Dollar Tree with some rocks and moss and will be combining all of the above together in a basket for the neighbors!
