Most of you know how much I love Christmas. And Pinterest. I sit and pin things – crafts, recipes, DIY, gift ideas, etc. – all year long. Tear ideas out from magazines and toss them in my Christmas file folder. By the time I’m done I have dozens, if not hundreds, of awesome projects laid out for myself.
And then Christmas comes.
The season is my favorite time of year but it’s so busy. There are parties and services, shopping and envelope-addressing, cooking and baking (and eating!). And of course we want to carve out time for special activities and events to make memories for our children and family. Who has time to make those cute snowmen or make a ribbon tree?
I found that I didn’t, and that I was a little disappointed that all these great ideas were just sitting there gathering dust. So I decided that it would be fun to make some of these things ahead so they’re ready to go during the holidays. For the recipes, at least I’ll know what ones turned out well and which ones didn’t so I don’t waste any of my baking time later.
Whether you choose to work on any of these projects now or just pin them for the holidays, I hope you enjoy my 31 Days of Christmas Crafts, DIY, Recipes & More.
