The other day, my blog friend Shari over at Lauren's Closet posted some beautiful pictures of salt dough ornaments that she made. These are not the clunky, chunky dough ornaments of yesteryear. Oh no. They are sweet and delicate and absolutely gorgeous. See them for yourself right here!

Being the super generous person that she is, Shari has posted a salt dough ornament tutorial on her blog! She has inspired me, and I'll bet she'll inspire you, too.

In preparation for my "salt dough day with Sophie", I picked up this batch of Christmas cookie cutters at the thrift store yesterday. $1.91 for the bag!

Same store, different bag, I found these snowflakes to use for the impressions. We're off to the store in a bit to get our flour and salt. While Sophie was impressed with the beauty of the ornaments we are going to make, she was a little dismayed that they look like "cookies you can't even eat". So, in addition to the flour and salt, we'll be purchasing some cookie dough to bake while we're rolling and designing our ornaments. ;)

If you decide to try your hand at these too, please send me photos!
