Christmas at Michaels

Hello Everyone,
 With the holidays fast approaching, Layth ( the little lion) and I choose to take advantage by conducting a love affair with Michaels. This includes several trips to Michaels to make gingerbread cookies, a gingerbread house, a foam puzzle gingerbread house and homemade cards to distribute to his   " friends" ( the new age term for classmates) at school. Each day Layth is not school implies a new project for us to tackle. My poor dinning room table has seen its fair share of fondant and homemade icing this year, since that's the only space large enough to accommodate our elaborate endeavours. Quite personally, I have sworn off Michaels until the New Year is over. No more projects for the rest of the season, my kitchen floor has seen enough! With one more gingerbread cookie kit left ( our first attempt was such a success, Layth insisted this kit was different), I see an end in sight!


The cookie kit, I made the mistake of buying twice

Apparently, Layth is still stuck in Halloween mood and insisted he make ghosts out of his cookies
