Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! I know that many of us are often left exhausted after all the Thanksgiving and Christmas festivities and are anxious to pack it all away until next year. I can usually keep the party going through January! LOL However this will not be the case for me this year. I'll take down my tree and pack away the Christmas decorations, but I'm planning to keep my Christmas crafting supplies out so that I can continue on with all the projects that I wanted to create.
This past year I have really enjoyed following Jill aka Greenwood Girl Cards, and host of Saturday Morning makes #satmornmakes, along with her fellow collaborators. Apparently she works year round creating Christmas cards and tags for her loved ones. She recently shared a video showcasing her efforts for 2022 and I love it!

I usually start thinking about Christmas in July, but my health makes it challenging to really stick to a schedule because I never know how I'm going to feel day to day. Each and everyday is different unfortunately, but I think if I make it a point to create something every month, that will give me an additional 5-6 months to create and I'll be able to tackle more on my Christmas holiday list!
Although I got distracted by all the crafty things and sidelined by illness most of this month, I did get a chance to create some really cute ornaments. I stared out strong with my gingerbread man cards, but then I got wrapped up in making faux cookie ornaments instead!
and chocolate covered pretzels...
And chocolate donuts...
and patterned paper ornaments...
especially the 3D kinds like this one...
I ended up making about 25 ornaments! I'm looking forward to adding some gingerbread men and little gingerbread houses to the mix for next year. Did you create any ornaments for your tree this year? I'd love to hear about them.
Thanks for stopping by today!
