i decided for sure today.
i’m gonna do it again.
{12 days of handmade christmas}
is back.
the first twelve days of november.
perfect timing for your to find some projects that are doable by Christmas.
sooooo,
if you’re crafty or know someone who is and would like to submit a tutorial,
send me an email or leave me a comment on this post. (examples of past tutorials below!)
i’ll pick the projects that are fairly simple and can be made in a couple of hours
and post the tutorials on my blog.
i didn’t do the 12 days last year because it was kind of a rough year.
but i’m back, baby.
i’d like to have all the tutorials sent to me by the middle of October and if we have more submissions than we have days, we’ll post them to lifeingracegirls.
{by the way, my dear friend Marie is posting to lifeingracegirls today so go give her some love and check out her blog at The (not always) Lazy W—and let me know if you’ve got a post you’d like to share with the lifeingrace community and we’ll get it posted over there!}
i’d also like to link to your favorite etsy shops so we can support moms who are creating lovely handmade goodies.
so tell me about those too. pretty please?
if you guys don’t come through for me and we only get 5 days worth of postings , i’ll resort to posting seven days videos of me singing old school country songs.
that could be devastating for us all.
i’d much rather learn how to make a dishmat, wouldn’t you?
yes you would, trust me. or ask my children.
i can’t wait to hear about all your handmade goodness!
please send your emails to ediewadsworthatmacdotcom and put ’12 days of Christmas’ as the subject or leave a comment on this post.
my hot glue gun and sewing machine thank you in advance.
here’s a sampling of the projects from 2010.
also, I’m working on a series for October hosted by my very gracious friend The Nester called ’31 Days to a Heart of Hospitality’. Last year, I posted every day in October on the rebuild of our house so this year, I’m expanding on that theme as I explore what it means to show hospitality ,why we should care, and some practical advice on turning the idea into reality. (The posting every day makes me break out into hives but maybe I can manage!) You should join too! She’s even so kind as to provide templates for making the buttons. She thinks of everything because she’s awesome like that.
