  1. I’m doing both. I actually have a pretty long to do list, that keeps getting longer every time I see something cool on the internet. I’ll never finish it all in time. I never do.

  8. Hi from NSW Australia. I am in the midst of making many things. I have just finished and sent off my scrapbooked cards which i am very proud of. I have also been making santa style clothes for 2 neices and a new wallhanging for our bedroom. I have made the pud and today will make the first cake with a few more to make as gifts. Yes very busy but loving every crafting minute. Merry Christmas to all.

  9. Usually I make some type of scrapbooks as gifts but unfortunately this year I am not. All of my stuff is currently boxed up and moved to a new room. I am still in the process of unpacking so I decided not to put the pressure on myself to complete anything this year. But I can’t wait to get back to scrapbooking after the first of the year!

  11. I am doing both, but finding it hard to get the gifts done with four little inquiring minds peeking over my shoulder 🙂

  12. No plans yet. I’m having a surprise party for my Mom tomorrow………..hopefully after that I can think Christmas.

  13. i am crafting for my family and one friend
    i have been quite busy with my granddaughters’ present, it’s a doll her size and 5 costumes, most with wings, to match hers’. i have hers’ made, now i have to make the doll and matching costumes. it’s something this 3 yr old sweetie has asked for. avery fells that grandma zhazha can do anything… it’s something very hard to live up to….but i keep trying.

  14. My crafting plans this year include Christmas cards, a daily journal for the month of December, and cards, handmade journals and an altered canvas for gifts 🙂

  17. Hi
    I will attempt to create our Christmas cards and thank you notes. I will also FINISH some quilts that I started
    🙂
    Cheers
    Catie

  18. I am quite sure I will be in my sewing room from now until Christmas. i am making everything from the gifts to the gift wrap but I am sure I will not have time to bake. I sure hope someone makes me Christmas cookies.

  19. I am making Christmas cards as we speak. I don’t know how many I’ll actually finish in time, but I’m having fun making them!

  20. I’m not doing as much crafting as usual, but am doing some little Christmas angel dolls that combine both crafting AND decor in one project.

  24. I’m making 100 cards for friends and family and Christmas tree ornaments for 35 friends…and only half done so far!!!!

  25. Tis the season for crafting…..Of course, I’ll be doing both. My daughter who is very creative in her own right will also be crafting…. Trying new things for decor…
    Thanks for the give away… : )

  27. I always make our Christmas cards. I also plan on making crocheted snowflakes, some polymer clay earrings, and maybe a couple of scarves.

  34. So far my crafting has been limited to a few simple ornaments and some Christmas tags. I hope to have a chance to make a few special handmade Christmas cards.

  38. I’ve made four special christmas boots (stockings, but cut in highwayman’s boot shape, and stuffed at the foot end; decorated to the nth degree – they are gorgeous, if I do say so myself). If I’ve got time I’ll make three more. Would love to win this e-book (one of the only a few Ella e-books I don’t own already). Thanks!

  41. My Christmas are allways handmade and if you see my blog you can see it 🙂 We made gifts (something “secret” I’m embroidery) and Xmas decor with the kids.
