I like to plan way ahead of time for Christmas. I have noticed a few others, who mainly give handmade presents during the holidays, who start even earlier than I, and stash them away in a rubbermaid tote (which I think is a great idea).
I've done everything from sewing shirts and quilts, to knitting baby toys and even stockings (newlywed BIL). Last year, we assembled gift baskets of snacks, drinks and a book/DVD according to each family member's likes (impractical for shipping, btw).
This year, I'm on an ornament kick. LOVE THEM! My niece and I have already made some heart-shapes from clay. And there are so many cute tutorials online and at the craft stores.
I was wondering if anyone has any cute and/or classy ideas for ornaments? (Maybe even organize a swap later on.)

Grace, there is a felt ornament pattern in a library book I have right now. It made me think of you and glamping. I'll try to scan the photo and e-mail it you.

I created a new ornament that is on my S.C.R.A.P. Blog today. I'm not selling them, but making a few for Christmas gifts this year. I'll be adding a few more if time allows it.

I took a drive to town yesterday, so you'll soon see some new ornaments on my blog for sale. I do have other ideas on my S.C.R.A.P. blog. Nothing fancy, but fun.

I use it as it was suppose to be used, a pinboard to hold all the stuff I see, so I don't have to keep it on my computer. It is GREAT for that!

I often find though, that a lot of the pins are just repins of other repins. Generally I use it as a place to keep ideas, while I continue to find other ideas. :)
Lots of my ornaments lately have been ideas from Pinterest.

Oh....that place scares me. The kids will have to peel me off the computer chair at wee hours in the night (he he he!) I tend to get sucked into it and spend too many hours looking. But oh so fun!
