Peppermint and Gingerbread

It was a peppermint and gingerbread Christmas again this year.  I find myself putting less and less decorations out every year as you just have to put them all away in a few weeks, right?  The peppermint towel hanging on my stove is from Cracker Barrel.  I'm into more peppermint decor now than gingerbread.  The red and white is so cheerful.

My daughter and I played around with making peppermint candy beads with polymer clay a few days ago.  Need a lot more practice.  As she said, "trial and error".

Happy New Year to all!
Hugs,
Karen
