A Christmas Post

Last Christmas our family tried to do a handmade Christmas. Now, not all gifts were handmade and not everyone got crafty but that was ok. Those that did make things did a great job. I really enjoyed receiving the gifts from my Grandchildren and the others that found themselves inspired. This year Christmas has snuck up on us again. I was just talking to Leslie yesterday about how we didn't consider handmade again this year. So, in case anyone decides to try to make gifts, take a look at this blog that I came across this afternoon...lifeingrace Edie is hosting the 12 Days of Handmade Christmas. Maybe someone(maybe me!)will see a project they'd like to try. I already like the idea of day 1...a dishmat. I usually just use a handtowel that gets soaked quickly. This thicker mat might just do the trick. I'm looking forward to the other ideas.
