Salt Dough Ornaments | Crafts

This year, we wanted to make some of our own ornaments to go on the tree. After tackling some of the crafts from our Wild & Willow box, Jupiter had the idea to make some salt dough ornaments – and it turns out they are pretty simple and easy to make. The kids each made their own, using a bunch of different cookie cutters, and Jupiter made one of the classic handprint ornaments with Pancake’s hand! It came out pretty nicely.

Another month has come and gone, and we’ve done another Willow & Wild box! These boxes are so much fun to do.

We ended up wit the stick treats and the Lick-e-lix, both in seasonal flavors and perfect for the furbaby in your life that would probably like to have a new treat for this.

But, if you’re not the sort to dip into a tipple or two then that widening of variety brings with it an added relief, because the alcohol-free, or low-alcohol, selection has grown as well.

Thankfully, the days where people pull faces at people drinking alcohol-free versions of drinks seem to be on the decline; and there’s a whole variety of reasons to swap out your drink for one without alcohol — from, having to drive, a busy day the next day, generally not liking the feeling anymore, and various health reasons.
