More Christmas Pinterest attempts and other random photos

I found this on a blog I follow, www.ourbestbites.com  and then I pinned it to Pinterest. It is a snow globe! I couldn't really decide on what to put in it so I settled on this. I want to make another one with something cute like a snowman. It was super easy and fun to make. I need to pain the lid, bright blue seems a little bright compared to the rest of it. I just saw a pin on Pinterest that was a little glittered moose. It was adorable and I think it would look great in a snow globe. 
       
   I found this adorable homemade tray on Pinterest made out of mint hard candies. And....
             Another Pinterest FAIL. In the comments some people were struggling with it being sticky in the humidity. Texas is very humid so I followed a couple of comments to help with the stickiness and put a clear sealant on it. It did not work at all as the picture shows. Oh well it was fun making it and if we ever move somewhere where it is not constantly humid I might try it again.
 That same day I also decided to make peanut clusters. They were delicious. I love how easy they are.
 I tried to make Mom's and they did not turn out like hers at all. I'll just have to practice I guess. Robert still ate a lot of them so they were at least semi-edible.
 Another Pinterest. Chocolate pretzels. :) I love salty/sweet combo. This tray has peppermint Hershey Kisses. Delicious. I also made a tray with Hershey Hugs. Also delicious. Super easy to make, it just makes a ton, well really you can make however many you want but I made the whole bag so I had tons!
 Another idea I found on Pinterest. A cute way to display Christmas cards. Its fun seeing all of them, a lot better than a stack that never gets looked at.
 With such limited space I really needed more shelves and this is what I found. I just put it together tonight. Not too shabby of a job I'd say. I really like it.
