12 Days of Christmas Challenge Day 10

Day 10 of the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge on Speedy Tv is by Pat Garvin.
She gave the recipe on how to make "Salt Dough Ornaments".
I have no idea why mine came out so dark (maybe I over baked them)
I stamped a riendeer face so I decided to colored the face in dark brown and added google eyes and a rhinestone nose...I think they turned out pretty good even though they are dark..
Check out her recipe here at:
