Star Ornament & Nutcrackers

While I was on my kick of making book page wreaths, I came across this great tutorial and learned how to make this beautiful Star Ornament.  It was pretty easy to make!

I made the start ornament bigger than the directions, and because of that it was a little too BIG for our tree, so I hung it here, near my Nutcracker collection.

I discovered this recipe called Nutcracker, and I hope that this Christmas I will finally get a chance to make it.

I had this extra basket which I filled with some of our Christmas/winter books for when some of the munchkins show up.

Do you ever put things away and can't find them?

I did and it's absolutely driving me crazy!!!  I can't find several Christmas children's books, especially a book called Miracle on 34th Street illustrated by Tomie de Paola!!!  Argh!!!

I have a feeling I will come across these books right after Christmas is over!!!
