He checked out Hallmark’s most popular Christmas card, “Three Little Angels,” which was created in 1977 and remains a best-seller. Being inspired by his trip, Ken is making his own decorative three little angels using mortar, plastic cups, feathers and round balls. You can find most of the materials at your local craft store.

Her secret ingredient is adding a couple of tablespoons of Kona ground coffee, but she says you can use any type of coffee for this recipe.
