Make chocolate covered everything - Here's a list of ideas for your ten cent crazy book
In the baking goods isle at the store you will find white chocolate and chocolate almond bark
Melt either of the almond barks in the microwave and make white or chocolate covered everything
Dip anything you like to snack on into the melted bark (one at a time works best - use tongs to dip and remove)
Pretzels
Oreos
Nuts
Crackers with peanut butter between them
Place on wax paper until bark gets hard
For faster results place in refrigerator

Keeping Kids Busy (Post 126)
If you would like to start your own ten cent crazy book - read post 1-4 to find out how
Over the holidays you may have a lot of extra children running around your house or you may just be looking for a way to keep your children busy while your wrapping gifts
Well, here's a simple and inexpensive way to keep a crowd of children busy for a long time
Have Children make Graham Cracker Christmas Houses
Cover a table with a plastic tablecloth or newspaper
Give each child a plastic placemat or a piece of construction or even a paper plate will do
Open a jar of peanut butter and a some boxes of graham crackers
Give each child a plastic knife or spoon - a large scoop of peanut butter on a small plate and a package or two of graham crackers
Fill small bowls full of different kinds of candy and cookies from the dollar store -M&M's-lemonheads, candy canes, Christmas cookies, sprinkles, gummi anything, gum drops etc - anything you can find that doesn't cost too much- set these in the center of the table
Now tell children to each make their own Christmas House using the peanut butter to hold the graham crackers together and decorating with the different kinds of candy - the fun part is to tell them that the best house will win a prize - (have a prize for all the children) a small candy bar or a Christmas ornament - just something small - and be sure to tell them that when they are done and the contest is won - they can eat their house (the truth is - they will probably eat enough while making it - that they won't want to eat it when done) - they will spend more time building then eating
Buy some vanilla cake icing in case anyone is allergic to peanut butter - children love to add food coloring to the icing to make red, blue, green and yellow Christmas lights for their house and white icing or coconut can be used for snow on the roof. Pointed ice cream cones make great Christmas trees to add to the scene.
After everyone is done - the whole scene can be rolled up in the newspaper and thrown away

Recycle (Post 125)
If you would like to start your own ten cent crazy book - read post 1-4 to find out how
Well, now that you are sending and receiving Holiday Cards - here's a recycle idea to add to your ten cent crazy book
First use the cards you receive as a decorations - tape or ticky tac them to the back of your front door or just an empty space on any wall that needs to look festive -- everyone loves looking at the cards and it will help you to remember family and friends through the holidays
Next save the cards when you take them down (and save the envelopes) update your address book and put the cards up with your tree ornaments - next year when you get out the decorations - you will remember to send cards and who you received from the year before
When you start wrapping those gifts next year - cut the pictures off the front of the old cards that you received the year before- they make the most outstanding name tags anyone has ever seen - everyone will want to know where you got them from.- all cards can't be used and some you will have to cut the words off of - but even children can make a fun project of cutting and designing the name tags.
