I made 4 pounds of the Sugared Cinnamon Almonds using my Nesco on Sunday. The Nesco is large enough that I could do all of them at once. I am planning to make some treat bags to give out some of the rest of the nuts. (Or, at least that is the plan. I am running out of time and my nuts are some how disappearing!)
I didn't have a post for the Sentimental Sundays Challenge this week. The theme this week is "Inspired by Song". Join in the fun for your chance to win 4 digital sentiment sets & a custom signature and watermark from Raindrop Echo Designs. My project is inspired by song too - Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Doesn't it look like he is saying "You Better Not Pout" or "You Better Not Eat all the Nuts"?
Thank you for stopping by today!

Wow Cheryl I can almost smell the cinnamon on those sugared almonds they look delicious, all who receive this little pressie will love it.
Hugs Shirley x x
Nuts are my BIG weakness!! Usually I try to steer clear from them (due to expanding derrier) but at Christmas time the caution kinda flies out of window. So I'm not sure any of those almonds would make their way into these gorgeous jars in our house..
And I have no ida what is Nesco, lol
Have a wondeful Christmas time!
Hugs

These are so cute. I love the Santa image in the middle. Thanks for joining us at AiFactory.

4 pounds of sugared cinnamon almonds??? Holy cow, I'm moving in! :) I love all of the little jars , they still maintain all of the character of the original. Although somehow, Mr. Santa is warning me about over-indulging in all of the holiday goodies. Doesn't he know calories don't count in December?? :)
Super cute! I love working with jars!! Thanks for sharing!
