Is it too early to plan handmade Christmas tree decorations?

I know it is the last day of October, but my mind can't help clicking over, thinking about all the fun crafting/cooking/decorating activities that lay ahead over the next two months.

Purchasing the ingredients needed for my fruit cakes.

Dusting off the Christmas decorations and tree.

Visiting the QVB Christmas tree.

Purchasing a Christmas decoration for 2011.

A mad rush to finish handmade presents.

Hanging our Christmas stockings.

Deciding which handmade decoration to make for Christmas 2011...

I hope some of these inspire you to make your own Christmas tree decoration this year. Mill and I are going to have a hard time deciding which decoration we will both make this year :-)

  3. Hi Sam, I can't wait to get into Christmas crafting too! I wish I was going to be there to make something with you. Perhaps we could both knit another matching ornament together? I quite like this little christmas wreath. Ps Happy birthday!

  5. Thanks for the ideas, Sam. I've been thinking of sending my daughter in Bulgaria some felt ornaments for her Christmas tree. Now I can get started. :)
