146 Days Until Christmas

If that thought makes you panic, you are not alone. To some it may sound like plenty of time, particularly if you are a Christmas eve shopper but it will be here before you know it. What better time to get started shopping especially when it is 100 degrees out side and you are ready for cooler weather. I always have these big plans of making all of these exciting gifts for everyone but never really come to fruition. This year that is going to change. I happened upon a wonderful blog created by a woman named Deb. Her idea is starting July 1 (okay so I am a little late to the party!) you make and finish one gift a week. I think this is fabulous, it totally takes the stress out of the holiday. Also as added incentive she is doing a fabric giveaway every week. All you need to do is blog about your gift add a link to her post on saturdays and she will randomly pick someone. I think my goal this week is to semifinalize my handmade gift list. I can't wait to submit my first gift.
