When I was a rubber stamper I would take a huge photo box full of completed cards to my in-laws Christmas celebration. I'd give each women in the group a ziploc bag with 6 envelopes in it. They took turns looking through the cards and selected 6 to take home with them. They all loved that they could chose the cards that spoke to them and I loved all the compliments I got. I know they actually used the cards too. I should totally do that again this year with hybrid cards. They would be so excited to have a card stash again. LOL!
For those of you that don't want to iron on to recylcing bags, you can always have bags printed at Arts Cow and if you can find a promotion they aren't too expensive.
I just ordered my 2010 holiday ornaments from Arts Cow, they are running a Facebok promotion so it's only $1.99 per porcelin ornament shipped. I'm also making a puzzle for each of the families in our camping group. We got a great group shot on our Fall trip this year and I thought it would be a unique and fun family gift. For $5.99 shipped it seems like a great deal.
I'm planning on making calendars for me, my mom, my SIL and my sister. My MIL never really commented on hers so I'm going to assume she doesn't want a new one for next year.
I made the little pocket calendars for my co-workers last year, but I haven't decided what to make this year for them. Any ideas?
I already bought Yankee Candles Med Jars for my DD's 2 - 3rd grade teacher but we'll take an afternoon and sew some little fabric Christmas bags to wrap them in so there is a homemade touch and something they can use over and over.
My 11 yo DD is working on some different drink and bath mixes for her aunts and my mom for the holidays. I think it's so cute she wants to make her own presents already!
That's probably all I can reasonably get done.
