This year we weren't doing Christmas with our kids until January 2, so I was a little slow to get motivated to make things! I did make a couple of batches of gingerbread cookies and a cookie bowl as well. I have made these since the kids were small but hadn't done it in a while. I decided to test my skills again... Finally on December 23 I got busy with the saw and paint after being inspired by a cute Santa I saw in a store...so here they are!

| You shape the gingerbread dough over a foil wrapped bowl and bake. |
 |
| Cooled and ready to fill with goodies! |
 |
| I always cut out tiny holes with a cookie cutter before baking so I can thread pretty ribbon through it. |
 |
| So cute! I usually fill it with some other goodies as well and wrap it in cellophane paper. |
 |
| Now on to wood crafting...I had some thin wood and cut it into triangles with DH's help. He also drilled the holes. |
 |
| I had fun painting them into Santas! |
 |
| No wrapping required Next, a few of my favorite scenes in my home right now! |
 |
| The tree, complete with an old wagon, toy car, and teddy bear. |
