Hello everyone,
I hope your week is going well.
Today, I had my little granddaughter
with me for the day as she recovers
from a cold. So, I put her to work
helping me make these dried orange
slices for our little Christmas tree.
Abby enjoys crafts so it was right
up her alley!
of cinnamon sticks.
pieces with the vintage plaid throw.
Abby wanted to know where I came up withthis great idea and I had to tell her it was an
old fashioned way of decorating for Christmas
instead of the store bought shiny baubles.
It was a fun little project and I plan to do
another batch soon.....much to Abby's delight!
I wonder if Abby needs another sick day tomorrow!!!
Thanks for visiting,
Carolyn

I'll bet it smells heavenly! Thanks one thing that always brings sweet memories...the smells of Christmas. How did you dry your oranges?
Making things with a granddaughter - such sweet moments. The oranges and cinnamon sticks look lovely.
Linda árvore enfeita com laranja, adorei a dica.
A casa deve ficar perfumada.
Tenha um ótimo fim de semana.
Hi Dizzyissy,
To dry the oranges, I just sliced them thin and put them on a tea towel to dry for awhile and then put them on a cookie sheet with parchment paper and left them in the oven at 200 degrees for about 4 1/2 hrs. turning them occasionally. I sprinkled some with cinnamon to give them more scent and a little darker color. I love how the lights shine through them on the tree.
Thanks everyone for your visit!
Carolyn
Beautiful old-fashioned Christmas goodness....and boy is she getting big - what a beauty!
