~Simple Christmas Joys~ Day 3
I chose a small cedar tree in our yard,
and gathered some materials I had on hand.
jute
pinecones
apples
oranges
birdseed
peanut butter
cranberries
peanuts
ribbon
thread
needle
I dried some apples (a few hours in a 200 degree oven)
and used jute to make them into ornaments.
I used some hollowed out clementines to make little birdseed holders.
I strung some peanuts and
apple slices.
Tied a few gingham bows.
This birdseed bell was the only thing I purchased for the tree.
Just couldn't pass it up when I saw it!
Of course I added a peanut butter bird seed pine cone. :-)
And I strung some cranberries.
(I read that birds don't need popcorn - it's empty calories and not good for them.)
I loaded everything up and headed out to decorate!
I hope to see some birds (and not just squirrels and raccoons!) enjoying their special tree. :-)
(This project would also be great for little hands with some adult help!)

18 cups of mix
1 package dry milk (1 lb 9.6 oz)
1 package powdered sugar (16 oz)
1 package chocolate milk mix (15 oz)
1 jar powdered creamer (11 oz)
2 jars of flavored powdered creamer (your choice - amaretto, hazelnut, vanilla, chocolate) (8 oz each)
1/2 cup cocoa
1/4 cup instant coffee
Combine all ingredients and mix well. Store in an air tight container. To prepare cocoa, mix 4 tablespoons of mix with 8 ounces of hot water. Stir and enjoy!
For gifts, place cocoa mix in a mason jar, add some sweet fabric and a label with preparation instructions.
These little jars of cocoa mix make great hostess gifts.
They are also nice to have on hand during the holidays to give to friends that stop by.
