Yesterday I was organizing my office and found a lot of stuff I had forgotten.

Several years ago, I made some Xmas ornaments but never followed through. They have cinnamon in them and are all natural. After these last 4 years in storage, they still have their scent! Not as strong, of course, but still have the good cinnamon-y smell.

I can make some up, still have to find the cutters and make a space for them to dry and all but would you buy something like this for your tree??

I used to make terra-cotta ornaments but then my marriage went south and life went on. This is sort of the same thing, only with the cinnamon.

Also, I got my sewing machine tuned up and was thinking of making dog clothes. Or little kids but so many people already do that one so going with the dog stuff. Thoughts?

There was something else but I can't think what...will have to go thru my office again to find it!!

What about horse or dog treats? Especially the organic kind. There are lots of recipes on the web. Good luck!

Winona,
I just noticed you live in Klamath Falls. I grew up in Grants Pass. Beautiful country, loved it.
There is a lady at our Farmers Market who sells dog treats, and does quite well. People ask for her when she is not there. I think her problem is the heat in the summer, and the bags get steamed up. Same issue I have with my bread that I sell. Must keep in the shade. I would sure give it try, and while you are selling doggy treats, why not have a few pieces of doggy clothes. More convenient for the customer.
Best to you,
Sheri
