It has been a whole week since I have posted! In that time I have planed a few things, gathered a few things and gotten a couple awesome books. So I am well on my way. I am getting some things together to post on etsy as well as gathering up some etsy shops to highlight!
So let's talk ideas for handmade gifts for the holiday. Let's begin with those who are less than crafty. There are so many things that you can do. It just takes a little thinking. Can you follow directions? If you can then try this get a great coffee mug from where ever you can find them. Often times the dollar store will have great mugs. Add a couple of tea bags, a pack of hot chocolate or a single pot pack of coffee. Place the beverage package into the mug, add a pack or two of individually packed snacks such as biscotti or cookies or even some chocolates. Place into a gift bag or a decorative bag of some sort with pretty bows or ribbons add the card of your choice and you have the perfect break time gift for anyone from kids to coworkers!
Send me your great ideas! We can all use a little help with this handmade gift year! Stay tuned, In future posts I will include some more great gifts involving mugs!

2011 the year of the Handmade Craft
WELCOME 2011! It is officially January 1, 2011. This means several things. First off it is the year of the handmade craft! That is right folks 2011 is here. This means handmade crafts for part of Christmas this year! Time to get planning and making.
Secondly this means my Birthday is just around the corner!
Third this means a huge Happy Birthday going out to one bad elf! She knows who she is. Have a wonderful birthday full of laughter and love my friend!
Well I have to make that list of who I am crafting for and what I am making. Never did get done at mom's. Although I did get some great red yarn on an after Christmas clearance for a scarf for a friend. She has already told me to get knitting! So I guess that means it is official. I have my first project.
Now I want to know what your projects are going to be. Don't be shy. Let me know. It will be fun to see what everyone is doing!
Get those creative juices flowing and send in the pictures. There is a lot more blog to come this year I promise.
Happy Crafting folks. Together we can make 2011 a year to remember!
