Yes, indeed, it’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas. I love to make things for Christmas. Ornaments are my favorite thing to make (and I’ve given some interesting ones) but there are so many things you can make as gifts. But you have to start a little earlier than Oooohhh, December 15th.
Sometimes the hard part about crafting Christmas gifts though is that initial idea. Trying to find just the right thing (I always make it harder because, dang it, I really don’t want to be like everyone else, even if gift giving!) can be really difficult. I love reading Christmas magazines with ideas, but it’s especially nice when someone has gathered ideas off the internet into a nice list as well. That’s exactly what Ashley did Here (you can also click the graphic above). There are so many ideas on her list of things you can make or where you can find crafty gifts made by others. I’ve only just scratched the surface and there are superhero capes, frames with inspirational sayings, hair barretts and bow tutorials (OH My!). Take a look a be inspired.
And you know what, she started gathering ideas back in August. Shoot. Does that mean I’m behind?

What great ideas! I love the mini Carmel apples! I think I will do that this week with my family! The kids would love dipping in different toppings! I also love the dolls. Do you think they are hard to make? Have a great, great day! See you soon!
I’m thinkin’ you could figure it out. Remember, I’ve watched you sew and you’re pretty steady. And you finished the tote bag. I think it’s great that the dolls have a story that goes with them.
Thanks for the link!!
Hope that you find some great stuff to make…
