    Theses are great ideas, Thank You. When I clicked on How to make Faux Zinnia Flowers, it took me to a different site. It would not let me cancel on subscribing. I left the site. I do not want every person or site having access to my email. They all just fill the box. So I guess I wont make these with my Mom. She has Alzheimer’s and I thought that would have been a fun and nice activity.

    This prevents me from being unsubscribed. I left the site. I do not want every person or site to have access to my email. They all just fill in the blanks. So I don’t think I’ll make it with my mom. Paint or polish the pancakes, keep them in a bowl or glass and the decorations are ready. Make loops and hang them on a tree, door, or window to decorate. The fireplace and mantel are also beautifully decorated with pancakes, and you can make a pancake Christmas tree if you wish. Pancake Hedgehog Craft – Add Something To Make Cute Little Faces! Pancake Reindeer – Perfect for Christmas time, turn your pancake into Rudolph! Pancake Owl Jewelry – This owl melts my heart.
