We're just finishing up day 6 of being snowed in here in the Arkansas Ozarks! No mail, no garbage pick up---but thank Jesus we've got all our utilities on and groceries in the fridge!

I've been making Christmas goodies almost as fast as the kids can devour them! Here's one of our family favorites from my great-grandma, Annabelle.

Christmas Nut Cookies

1 c. butter
1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. chopped nuts
powdered sugar

Cream butter, sugar, and vanilla until fluffy. Add flour and salt and blend well. Mix in nuts. Shape into balls and bake 20 minutes at 325º. When cookies are cool, roll in powdered sugar.

I absolutely love this Wooden Spool Wreath from The D.I.Y. Dreamer! I've been collecting these adorable vintage spools for spoolies and other crafts and will definitely be doing something wreath-like with them soon as well!

JES shared these excellent Ideas for Using Orange Peel on her blog, Strangers & Pilgrims on Earth. I'm inspired!
