christmas presents

[Ellen]

are you making any christmas presents .
Yes I know it's early but they are talking about christmas craftmarkets already over here.

I'm doing calendars
snowflake ornaments with a photo of my granddaughter
nieces/nephews and decorated with christmas thingemies
decorated boxes with sets of notecards
decorated tic-tac-toe boxes
couple of bookmarks
decorated tiles - probably stamped.
birthday calendar
addressbook

and I'm going to knit a few shawlettes got the wool, got the needles, got the pattern all I need now is the time all by myself as you need to concentrate.

I've also got orders for crocheted babyshoes and socks and a pair of woollen socks

I have absolutely no idea...probably very little making with all that free time I don't have. I do love making stuff though.

Ellen, with this long list you have to start early!

 

[VickiStegall]

I always try to make something. No idea what i'm going to end up with this year.... must get started soon!

Can't I just buy all my Christmas presents at Disney World for everyone?

Wouldn't that be awesome if I had the money, not only to buy them there, but ship them home!!!!

I always make a Christmas ornament for my folks and my brother's family.
I have no idea what type I'm making this year... thank goodness for Pinterest!

:bounce::bounce: I'm making stuff for a craft fair anyway so any left overs go to the christmasbox

oops i forgot christmas cards of course

Joni I don't dare to go and look at Pinterest, I'd never get out of it. good idea though to get some inspiration

hehe! I have a Board just for Gift ideas and I am sure its getting filled!

I make a lot of my gifts since I have more time than money at this point in my life. Everyone gets lots of photos/scrap pages or photo inspired gifts. I make a lot of Faery-Wings stuff too. My hardest thing right now is to come up with different ideas since I feel like everyone gets the same stuff over and over. That is where Pinterest comes in

Ellen, great idea to start this, I really should get some ideas scratched out.

 

[LSlycord]

I hope to make some things this year... Pinterest is full of great ideas. Just need more time...and more skill! Definitely making something though!

Oh Ellen how fun it would be to come and craft with you and make presents!

I am usually a big Christmas crafter, but I don't know about this year, hopefully I can find the time.
