Hey Debbie,
I'm so glad you liked everything. I had the worst time trying to find something special for you.. I do a ton of craft shows and you'd think it would be easy to find something with angels, wolves, patriotic or american indian theme - but everything was $$$ or I just didn't like it. I was so glad when I finally saw that flag sign and knew the crafter who made it. I'm glad you liked the ornament too, I hoped you would and figured that you wouldn't mind my sharing a gift I got from them because it represented my respect for their culture and my donations to the charity to help take care of the kids. I was so thrilled this year when I won them 10,000 bonus Boxtops for Education. My friend who is a crafter makes that soap, I really love her stuff. I even got her to sell some on the Neoloch auction site. We did a show together and I bartered with her some of mine for some of hers.
I made the gingerbread ornaments, but not the hershey's kiss one (another crafter there). Really simple recipe - cinnamon and applesauce - nothing else. Mix, roll, cut, and dry in food dryer (or a low oven, I prefer a food dryer though) - thats why they smell so good. If you store it in a ziploc baggie during the year it will last for years - and if somebody does eat it there's no harm. Its perfectly safe!
I found the crayons at Target. I thought they looked so unique. I had wanted to get a coloring book for him as well but never found a Spongebob one - hence the "homemade" book. I hope I had the right Avatar - I wasn't sure. There's a ton more pages on the website that you can print out for free.
I love Chocolove bars - believe it not I can get them at Target sometimes! Here's a link to the "where to buy" part of their website. -

I'm so glad everyone liked everything, I had fun trying to find things that would bring a little of the Christmas spirit to your house.
