How to Make Cinnamon Dough Ornaments + Gift Embellishments at Domestifluff. What a great idea as a new use for a traditional craft.

15 Cities in Gingerbread | Mighty Girl. Love! Seattle has an annual gingerbread village display that is worth braving the shopping hordes for a viewing. (p.s. to locals: it’s open until Jan. 1 and the line is super short post-Christmas.)

We had our holiday party this weekend, and unintentionally had what is a PA tradition at weddings: the cookie table. This, of course, makes me wish I had made a cookie tree when I was making my first gingerbread houses from scratch!

Those city landmarks in gingerbread are impressive. Although, I’m not sure if that was the Chrysler Building (as they said) or the Empire State Building, because King Kong was on it…

Several years ago when my teenager was a toddler we made those cinnamon ornaments. We were pretty poor, so we didn’t even want to buy a new cookie cutter. We used the only one we already had: a heart! We punched holes in them and tied red ribbons on them and tied them to blank cards. They served as Christmas cards and we figured everyone would understand they were ornaments. Then one friend wrote us to say, “the cookie broke in the mail but it was good anyway!” yuck! Next time, we have to be more explicit!

(we also made a bunch for ourselves and still put them on the tree every year!)
