If you are wondering why I just didn't buy it, well I have to thank my mom for that too. I remember doing all sorts of Christmas crafts growing up--a wreath made out of yarn and a hanger, our names made out of wooden letters and ribbon are two that come to mind--and now when I see something the first thing I think of is: Can I make this? If I can then I am not going to buy it! Silly! :) It is so much more fun to make things and now I just have to work on letting my kids help me more. Hee! Hee! Noah did help with the paint some but I am thinking I need to make some more and let them paint the whole thing. I found everything at Hobby Lobby by the way. Maybe I've inspired you to make these somewhat primative reindeer or something else out of cinnamon sticks. If so, I hope you tell me about it! :)
Have a great day!

Aimee..these are gorgeous!!! I love that your's will have a subtle hint of cinnamon too. I'm with you...if it can be made, why not? Pottery Barn charges 2 arms and 2 legs for everything they sell. Lovely merchandise, don't get me wrong..but it's not worth the money. What you've made are now family heirlooms!!!
Too cute! My mom and I always made crafts too. That's one thing I definitely miss about being close to home- the time spent 'doing stuff' that we can't just do on a whim now.

I think you got my "Oh, I can make that!" genes...
These are SUPER cute...will definitely have to make some!
