holiday granola? I think so!

We put our elf hats on last week and made some woodward holiday treats! It was a great excuse to play around with new types of crafty packaging.

Homemade granola is a perfect holiday gift to share. Why? We give and receive so many sweet treats at this time of year, why not give the gift of breakfast instead? Go ahead! give my recipe a try:
