I started brainstorming handmade Christmas ideas in August. Attempted to get going on them in September. Now here I am, December 1st and all I have are a few pieces of fabric cut out.
Somethings never change, huh?
A friend of mine has a friend who follows this little mantra for Christmas:
Something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read.
I love it. Love it.
We're sort of adopting it this year. It's perfect - especially with my decluttering attempts. No sense in bringing in unneeded things!
It's not as catchy or as simple, but I'm adding a couple of things in there.
Something they want, something to do, something they need, something to wear, something handmade and something to read.
Since Santa still comes here, we won't be down to just one of each thing, but we hope to keep it reasonably close.

For the first time in our home, the boys have been instructed to make something for each other, instead of buying. They've both come up with wonderful ideas and I'm pretty excited to see how it'll play out!
I plan on doing a couple of fun holiday/craft round ups in addition to handmade holiday posts - let the countdown begin!
