Our Christmas to Do List is moving along – and I just discovered the truth that next week December arrives and that we need to get moving…
- Step 1: Operation Christmas Box – We are done… the closing date for Cape Town is this Sunday 29, November 2009 (pop into the link if you need last minute details).
- Step 2: Christmas Cards – We have a photo, envelopes nearly all addressed, stamps… but we seriously need to do some arting!!!
- Step 3: Plotting and Planning Gifts – We have a list! Folk we are gifting and the gifts we are planning to make. At this stage we need to gather our materials.
In this post I thought I would post our gift making ideas from last year (click on the links for tutorials). I also added in a list of our giftable crafts. Finally a list of my favorite gift links – drop down to the bottom and follow them they are well worth the effort!!!
