  1. Great ideas! I am making felt ornaments for friends and family. It is so fun to make gifts, it feels great to give a gift that you spent time to make and put love into. I also shopped on Etsy this year for gifts.

  2. I’ve tried Ina’s recipe two times in the past and it has never worked for me. The caramel never sets up. Any ideas why?

  3. Hello!

    Thank you for so many great ideas and tutorials!

    I looked up the Printable Santa Advent Calendar from Sean Garrison and didn’t quite catch the changing numbers thing. Do you slide the numbers one by one so that the one you just slid hides inside the Santa? Then, one has to glue all the slips in one long slip?
