Vintage Red




I had this old book shelve and end table but did not like the way they looked anymore so I decided to paint them with the Rust-oleum American Accents Distressed Vintage Red.For some reason I love the deep color of a dark red.I had to put on 2 coats,but I like the darker red.Not bad for a first timer.

Applesauce-Cinnamon Ornaments


Wanted to make something nice for Morgan 2nd grade class for a birthday treat so I decided to ask Morgan what she wanted to make them and she said Rocket cookies since they are the Anna Rockets.So I thought I'd share the recipe for them.
Recipe for Applesauce-Cinnamon Ornaments
1 cup of applesauce
1 cup of cinnamon
2 TBSP of Elmer's Glue
Mix together then roll out the 1/2 inch thick and use a cookie cutter to make the shapes and use a straw to make the holes for string or ribbon.Bake at 200 degrees for 2 hours let them sit over night then you can paint them if you like.Make about 14-16 ornaments.Will post pictures later.
