Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I made Salt Dough Ornaments the Christmas 1994. I was pregnant with Emily. Money was very tight so I made ornaments for family and friends. I used a permanent marker to date the back so everyone could remember when they received it. Here we are 28 years later, 2022, and I still have the Snowman I made that year and kept for my tree. I flattened 3 balls to form a Snowman, used black craft paint for eyes, hat, and buttons. It lasted several years before I had to hot glue one of the balls back on.
