Keepin' it fresh.

 
It was a busy weekend, filled with Christmas-y activities & to-do's, a few good meals, a couple of Belgium beers [enjoyed during a much-needed night out with friends], AND a new holiday tradition to add to The list.


                                        
                                           
                                         
... discovered pomanders last year over at Michelle's place, & was sort of mesmerized by the idea of decorating & curing an orange, while at the same time perfuming & freshening the air... what a lovely, simple activity!  And NO stress... NO fighting children... NO digging my way through the craft store to stock up on supplies... Win, win, & WIN.
 
{*next up (also from Michelle's post)... a little less simple, but equally lovely & mesmerizing... window stars}
  
happy monday =).

    Hey friend- I used to do this with my mom and grandmother at christmas and i totally forgot about it. like you said it is a fantastic craft for the kids and it has an added bonus of making the house smell so good!

    Not sure if you have been on my blog last week but I now have a beautiful little baby boy! Grant is so in love with him as are we all and he is doing wonderfully! Just thought I would let you know!

    Oh I totally forgot about these! I did them last year, as I used to do them every year when I was a kid, and I love them - the smell is amazing! Okay, going on the grocery list for this week. thanks for the reminder!

    Love the little initials on the oranges, never thought of that one. In New Zealand Christmas always fell on summer but our biggest Santa treat was oranges from California and a red apple from Canada
