It’s November, and the Christmas crafting is officially underway! I have two gifts already tucked away upstairs, items that were knitted during swim classes and movies. I have made my list; there will be some knitting, some scrapbooking and perhaps some sewing. Food and candies will come in December, but the more I can get out of the way this month, the better! Most of my gift giving consist of handmade items, with a few store-bought items to round it out.
Of course, I still have to finish the sweater for my husband, and there is a sweater for my son on the needles as well. They both have a finish line in sight, so I’m feeling ok at this point.
The scrapbooking will consist of calendars. I made two last year, and they were huge hits. Repeat what works, I say! I will find a new theme this year, but the subject (my son) will stay the same. The calendars are 8×8 blank calendars that I bought at my local scrapbook store, She Runs With Scissors. I like the smaller size as they are quicker to make up and easier for the recipient to hang.
So, what are your Christmas crafting plans?
Rocks, Waves, Beach 
I tend to be more of a homemade basket full of goodness type gift giver to, so with that said this is my plan…I always make all of our cards that get handed / sent out during the year..so with that said I will be taking a couple of days or evenings and having some card making sessions. I also plan on doing a couple pairs of socks up for my Pa, hubby and both kids. maybe a scarf or something of the like for my mom…one never knows :)
