for calendars, there are a couple in the shoppe: digital products here (4 in the top two rows) .... and some paper projects here (do a shoppe search for calendars and there are TONS of various products)
I've also been looking at My Pic Tales, they have a nice selection with a couple different styles and their pricing looks pretty good.

I have some ideas of things. I am thinking about doing some silhouettes of my nieces and framing them for my sister as a gift. Cards of course. Maybe some ornaments. I'll see as time goes, what I am inspired to create!

I made this for my MIL; I have a separate mini-album idea for my mom and sister and that's probably about it for the year except for one notecard set I made with handmade envelopes for which I have yet to pick a recipient.

I am planning on acrylic albums for my grandfather and dh's grandmother. Probably one for FIL and for my dad too. I am going to buy aprons when HL has them on sale and package them with fabric paint for my neices and nephew to do. Trying to make it more of a "home made" Christmas this year. Have to figure out my MIL though, I made her an acrylic for her b-day so I am not going to do that again so soon.

I think Ill be buying crafty items! LOL! It seems whenever I make things, I don't get a great reaction for some reason! LOL!
You know what would be fun to make though, is a Christmas ornament every year for the fam.(we usually don't get home for Christmas) with the boys pic in it, or maybe they can make the ornaments

I am planning to make mini calendars for the teachers, mini albums for the grandparents, and magnets (along with some other gift) for the parents.

I plan on it! If I can get my butt in gear. I want to give some scarfs to friends and make little scrappy chipboard books for the grandparents.

It happens to the best of us! I haven't sent cards for the last 2 years... life just got crazy, and for the last 3 years I've gone downhill around Thanksgiving time. This year I am going to make it through even if it means weekly therapist visits!FairyMouseMom wrote:I plan to do so, but not sure what yet!

Re: anyone going to make crafty gifts to give for christmas?
I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I REALLY want to get away from the commercial aspect of Christmas this year and bring it back to what it is supposed to be.
Kids under 18 will get a gift. They don't really dig the homemade stuff, so I will submit until they are 18. Everyone else is getting a handmade gift. We all went to Disney this year so everyone is getting an 8 x 8 album, featuring their immediate familyand than some shots that everyone wants, so each album will be different.
Also, someone showed me how to take a clear glass ornament, spray the INSIDE with spray adhesive, sprinkle in glitter, let dry and than shake out excess. Than, for the outside, take alcohol ink and "drizzle" it down the sides of the ornament, looks very stained glass. So between ornaments and albums, I should be good.
