This is a little late, but I couldn't post these earlier before people received them. For our close family, I decided to make ornaments this year instead of Christmas cards. The idea sounded fun and easy in my head, but turned out to be harder than I thought.
The post office here is always busy around the holidays, so to avoid being shunned by everyone else in line, I would only bring 5-6 ornaments to ship at a time. This meant that I went to the post office and stood in line at least 6 different times to ship these little things, in addition to our other Christmas packages that had to go out.
Also, salt dough isn't as easy to work with as I had envisioned! It took me 3 batches before I deemed them acceptable to give out, and even then they weren't as perfect as I had hoped they would be.
I hope all who got one though, liked them though and that they didn't look like a 5 yr old made them! :)
