Can you believe the end of the year is upon us???? Mind blown! :)

Would it be fun to list all the things we crafted this year? Whether for Christmas just past or other things throughout the year. I bet the lists are all longer than we realize!

Lana, also an amazing list.
It certainly helps with the Christmas giving to be crafty. I have a few things planned for Christmas gifts for 2015 but I could never achieve what you all have. Phew

You all seriously ROCK! Such inspiration-I did knit some dishcloths, and cleaned up my craft room-hope to do some more knitting in 2015.
