Thanks for sharing - fun to hear about other folks who liked the book and used it for making wreaths, decorations.
There is one decoration I would love to make for this year - it’s a “tree” made of oranges, with cloves poked in the oranges. Mmmmmmm ..... I can just imagine the glorious smell of oranges & cloves!
Here’s a link to a pic of something similar:

You can also make Christmas ‘balls’ with the oranges & cloves:
My mom was taking deviled eggs to a ladies luncheon Thursday. I have to make the eggs for her & I pipe in the filling & sprinkle with paprika (put in an empty salt shaker - works like a charm). The eggs are pretty enough, but she had a platter where the eggs go around the outside. She wanted to put some olives/sweet gherkins in the middle. Her initial thought was to put them on lettuce. I went to the garden and picked some rosemary & got some red nandina berries and decorated the center of the platter, alternating with the gherkinss/olives. Boy, was it pretty & VERY seasonal! The other thing I loved - the smell of the rosemary ... again, mmmmm ..... ‘delicious’!! :-)
That does sound pretty. Sometimes instead of paprika on deviled eggs, I use organic tomato powder. Same color but a nice tomato taste that goes great with the eggs.
