So Ladies how many of us have items to do for Christmas? 2017 Christmas?

I do have a few to do.

Yesterday a.m. I did print out over 100 reindeer feed sayings. Think I need about 90. Have most of them cut apart.

What is your agenda this week?​

We're in Nebraska this week, so I'll be doing some knitting and CCS that I brought. DD has some clothes she got for Julia that she would like me to alter.

Finished last touches on felt notebook cover last night! So that can be wrapped now!

Gifts to finish for Christmas:

- Pinecone Firestarters...need to wrap wicks around pinecones, melt wax, add cinnamon and vanilla, then dip, dip, DIP! Also need to make tags that say "You Warm Our Hearts"

- Cork and Bead Keychains...making 5 total for various people - just need to assemble

- Classroom Treats...thinking I'll do candy sleds if I can find Kit Kat bars at decent price. Will need to buy glue dots and candy canes too...still debating this one but will probably go with it

- Some sort of gift for front office staff at DS's school...have a couple of ideas that I have the supplies for...more to come on this...

- Photo Brag Book for DMIL with pics of DS...planning to order the photos to use at same time I order prints of the photo we'll send out with Christmas Cards this year...

It's going to be tight but I "think" I can finish each thing in time. The firestarters are the last major project and hope to do them this evening, but we'll see. They have to be ready to ship by Dec 4th...

Gave 7 crocheted rugs to the charity organizer yesterday. told her that I do not want to do any more for a while as I have a lot of UFOs here that I would like to work on for myself. 1/4 of the way through a knitted baby blanket that I am doing to put away for later. I have had the wool for a least 4-5 years so I am glad to be doing something with it.

Everyone's busy! Hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving!

We will be going home tomorrow. DD has a new project for me ... oven mitts to coordinate with her new kitchen remodel. She said for Christmas, but I think it will be later than that before she is able to decide on fabrics.

When I get home, I will focus on ornaments for DGDs and a little something for DDs. Maybe I'll also have a chance to work on the poinsettia placemats I have planned for myself.
