Do you want to see what I baked up last night?
Good enough to eat right?
Well, I don't think they would taste too good since they are wood! I have been trying to figure out what kind of tag to put on the Bootie Bags to show who they belonged to, and came across these letters at the craft store ($1.00 ea.). Not really knowing what I was going to do with them I grabbed them anyway. They have been sitting on the shelf taunting me every time I pass by.
While making myself lunch yesterday and racking my brain, I glanced up at some pretty chocolate holiday pretzels on the counter. They were sprinkled red and green and looked so fun, that I knew THAT was what I wanted my letters to look like...but after more thought I decided to go for the 'Gingerbread Cookie Look'.
They were so simple and turned out fabulous...lots of Oohh's and Awww's from the kids! I just had Honey drill a hole in the center of each letter, painted, added painted frosting and a sprinkling of silver glitter, and let them dry overnight.
I attached them to each bag this morning and love them! Won't the kids be so excited now that they can identify which bag is theirs? All of our shopping is done and each bag is stuffed with goodies...the kids ask everyday if 'today can be Christmas'. It's very tempting, but I think holding the excitement in for awhile makes everything even more magical!
