A few weeks ago I was baking gingerbread and got hooked on the smell. It lasted for days! It got me into the spirit of Christmas so when it finally went away I looked for other yummy smells that remind me of the holidays.
Trevor gets all the credit for decorating this beauty. If this much candy ended up on the house, just imagine how much was in his tummy!
After gingerbread I found the recipe for cinnamon ornaments. These are equal parts cinnamon and applesauce mixed into a dough, rolled flat and cut into shapes, then baked at 200 for 2-3 hours.
Some of the cinnamon ornaments ended up on the tree and some I tied to rafia to decorate other parts of the house.
Next aroma was an orange-clove-cinnamon potpourri. I don't have one of those mini crockpots so this was simmering on the stove all day.
On Saturday I stopped by a Christmas tree stand and picked up their extra branches. I love the convenience of a fake tree but it's nice to have a little scent of pine.

I love your gingerbread house. I would be just like Trevor, more candy in the mouth than on the house:)
