Christmas!?!?
Well Halloween is over! And stores are putting up the Christmas decorations and stocking up (I know I have been at work!) so I think its time to start thinking about December Daily albums and handmade Christmas cards!
So much on the web right now to give you inspiration too! If you are interested in a December Daily album Ali Edwards has a great one that you can follow along with. And Jessica Sprague has a FREE class that you can follow along with - registration just opened..
And for Christmas cards there is so much, but one of my fav designers is doing a daily video until December of 25 cards she has made - check it out!.
I have purchased my stamps and papers for my Christmas cards and December Daily album and have started to put both together. I would also love to make a lot of Christmas gifts this year. I really want to cut back on the amount I spend. Fred and I have been discussing Advent Conspiracy It's an organization who's goal is to bring Christmas back to what it is all about - and our services at Bethel will be geared towards this movement which I think is awesome. For a few years now I have been trying to make myself more aware of what Christmas is all about ~ celebration of Jesus -- who died for my sins! Not just his birth but everything about Him, and now with this movement I feel even more encouraged/convicted to get away from the commercial side of things.
So are you as excited about Christmas as I am!

Well, if I wasn't as excited as you were before, I certainly am now! What a great post, and what great links! I have signed up for the class, watched the two videos, checked out Ali's Daily December book, and perused the Advent Conspiracy site. What a great way to unwind after coming home from work! Thanks so much for sharing!
