She is turning 11 friday and is having her first slumber party. Oh good lord. 6 pre-teens in my house over night. Keep them busy is what I say. I'm thinking rent a few movies, come up with a couple crafts. I do know we will make the cinnimon ornaments. Very easy and a little something for mom.
To make:
Mix together 1-1/2 cups cinnimon, 1 cup applesauce and 1/4 cup white glue. This will make a dough that smells good enough to eat. I don't recommend eating it. Cover it with a towel while you clean up the mess for 30 min. (you may end up with cinnimon everywhere) Then you roll out some of the dough and use cookie cutters to make ornaments. Be sure to make a hole in the ornament so you can hang it. Now, you can either bake at 200 degrees, flipping every few minutes until dry, or you can let them sit on wax paper, flipping every so often for a day or two. I reccomend the latter, because the ornaments can curl in the oven. I don' t have the patience to stand there and baby sit them. But when I do this with the girls, I will bake.
I also plan to make slipper socks.

I love the cinnamon ornaments, I have made them every year since a good friend introduced me to them about 5 years ago!(ah hem... Thanks Loretta!)
