A little wreath how to ....

Happy Monday Evening to everyone..

How art thou? (my second favorite greeting).... grin..

Just thought I would share a little craft that I made today..

I found this craft on PINTEREST so I cannot take the credit for it.. I think that is the great thing about Pinterest.. You find ideas and make them your own.. One can do their own thing and enjoy the whole experience, eh!

Anyway... here is a little apple wreath that I put together..

All you need are some fresh apples.. I think I might have used a

5 pound bag.. You can make it whatever size you like, really..

I have a dehydrator so I just sliced them and dried them that way..

You can google how to dry them in your oven, though..

I did not use lemon juice or cinnamon... They are just sliced and dried.. You could use an apple corer perhaps but I didn't.. The apples had a star shaped hole in most of the slices and I only had to thread a gingham cotton ribbon through them..

A really neat craft to do with your children, too..

It is nice for Christmas or even all year.. I have some apple oil to sprinkle over the apples but you don't really need to do that..

I was telling our daughter Shonda about this and I mentioned that it would make a lovely gift, too..

I made up kind of an apple gift idea here..

A bottle of HOMEMADE CROCK POT APPLE BUTTER,

and some HOMEMADE WINTER POTPOURRI and this little apple wreath.. Pick up an old wood salad bowl at the thrift store and there you have it.. Use some cellophane wrap or whatever turns your crank to wrap it..

It was a rainy windy day here in Eastern Canada today..

We were out of bread so I made this easy recipe for NO KNEAD BREAD

It is so easy to make and so delicious..
