Later in the day we made some gifts and decorations. J made some soap for her Earth Scout friends while I tried out making beeswax ornaments for the first time.
I was pleased with the result. The hardest part was waiting for the beeswax to melt. I can be quite impatient-just ask my sister!I also read to them from The Story of Holly and Ivy by Rumer Godden and the kids watched a Rudolph video. Now, we just need some snow!
What a lovely day! J's soaps came out just lovely- and I want to reach out and smell your beeswax. :)
ReplyDeleteHolly and Ivy is one of my favorite books!
ReplyDeleteThe ornaments and soap look great - and you're right - we need snow!
I second the need for some snow!! Owen and I just got back from the playground with our homeschool friends and it was 65 degrees - December is confused.
ReplyDeleteThe ornaments are really pretty and I bet they smell wonderful too.
Snow, snow, we need snow!!! Sorry we missed the ice skating, I worked, how's that for an excuse? I will know better than to do that again!
ReplyDeletewhat fun! we need to go ice-skating. your ornaments are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou're all set!
ReplyDeleteTrev was telling Eric (my husband) the other day that he's an expert at skating. He's only been once - when I was pregnant with Maddie! :)
If you still have any beeswax, and want to try again, I have a honey lipbalm recipe that I'll post sometime soon. :)
Enjoy the season!
Oh! And it seems that my problems with Blogger are over. :)
ReplyDeleteYour beeswax ornament turned out beautifully!
