I just found two candy canes when I was cleaning up. I just put them in the decorations box. I'll hang them on the tree next year, if I have a tree.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for this thrifty green Thursday contribution!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14497842103839179202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780979693195745238.post-9498719669181661332009-01-08T16:49:00.000-05:002009-01-08T16:49:00.000-05:00Thanks for this timely and fabulous tip!

I lucked out and found precrushed crushed peperment chunks in the baking isle of the store and whirred those in my blender to make them as fine as I could. <BR/><BR/>I used the rest of the package to make peppermint bark - another stocking stuffer.Lisa Nelsen-Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13731962631056727458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780979693195745238.post-17025351609795499482009-01-08T11:22:00.000-05:002009-01-08T11:22:00.000-05:00What a great idea.
