I just checked them every 15 min or so. <BR/>If you slice them thin they will curl, if you slice thicker they'll stay flat. <BR/>I sprinkled with cloves or nutmeg or cinnamon before dehydrating, but that's optional. :)Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01279308378287322473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-7201782519976082112008-12-15T08:30:00.000-09:002008-12-15T08:30:00.000-09:00Hey!

The first Christmas after my divorce, my parents bought me a 6 1/2 foot live tree that had to have a foot cut off cause it would not fit in my house. (Long Story).<BR/><BR/>My children and I made construction paper stars and painted them with glitter, hung them with yarn and I made a decoupage star tree topper out of fabric and cardboard. That is one of my favorite all time trees. I love it.<BR/><BR/>I put all my Christmas cards that I received that year on the tree as well.<BR/><BR/>It was quite pleasant. I love the hearts - they are beautiful.<BR/><BR/>Blessings.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16192231917797056935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551466722529127235.post-91239874169067298772008-12-11T12:40:00.000-09:002008-12-11T12:40:00.000-09:00How adorable!
