  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

What's your favorite?

Mine is getting a vase and filling it with potpourri and Christmas lights. Then covering the opening with a doilie. When you turn on the Christmas lights it heats up the potpourri and releasing the scent. My favorite scent Apple Cinnamon.:D

That sounds very pretty!

I have a couple favorites. I put about 20 glass ball ornaments in a pretty painted antique bowl with red beads draped in and among and outside. It's so simple but elegant.

My other favorite is anew thing I've tried this year. We have a faux fireplace, very cool, they were all the rage when this house was being built. Since I cant put a real fire in it I put white birch logs in there and interlaced some BIG (3 inches across) sparkly white lights among the logs. It's really pretty.

I like making cinnamon ornaments. You mix cinnamon and white glue together to form a type of dough and then roll it out and use cookie cutters to make different shapes. They smell soooo good too. I made a bunch last year, and they still smell great.

I made some of those about 12 years ago and they still smell good! That is, the ones that I pack away after Christmas. The ones that I kept out lost their scent after a year or so.
