Cinnamon Applesauce Ornaments are one of the first crafts I ever made. When Doug and I first married, over 20 years ago, we made many of our tree ornaments. One of the handmade ornaments that year was a batch of these Cinnamon Applesauce ones.

It’s Christmas and I am thinking of our beautiful NB Beaches! #MyNBChristmasTree
Over the past few summers, my boys and I have spent many hours on the road, visiting and exploring our beautiful New Brunswick coastline. As I thought about a theme for a New Brunswick Christmas Tree, my very first thought was to create a tree that represents all those fun day trips and adventures we have spent as a family. Family is our focus this time of year, so we decided to create some ornaments that cherish those tidbits of time spent Discovering NB Beaches. There is so much more to explore in NB, and I look forward to adding more hand made ornaments to this tree each year.
