Candy Plates and Wreaths

My dad was Danish. For many years we drove to Janesville, Wisconsin at Christmastime to spend it with dad’s only living relatives, his cousins who had kids about my age. That was always fun for me because until I visited them, I had never seen a truck drive across a pond or lake, ridden on…

A Facebook friend of mine from high school sent me a picture last week of little strawberry Santa’s and I just knew I had to make them. I searched the Internet for a tutorial or instructions and didn’t find too much. I honestly could only find 2 other posts with them and only one with…
