Christmas in July

Christmas is going to be here before you know it, so today I want you to look at what it is you really want the holidays to "look and feel" like!  Start to plan things out for your parties, or other events.  You might not have dates down yet for parties you are attending, but if you are doing your own family or friend event, start to look at dates that you can do that perfect party!   If you always attend a work party, or family party that has a date set in stone, put those dates down on your calendar! 

Memories are priceless...you can't take away the memories you have with your family and friends.  Make an album of past events, and give them to your friends and family for Christmas.  I have a review on free software and kits that you can download from Daisy Trails, check out my product reviews for that link!  You can then take the layouts you have made and get a book made up, for anywhere between $15-25.00 each book, depending on where you go. 

Look at the "little" things you need to do, such as teachers, neighbors, or friends you don't see all the time, but still want to get something for them.  Search for cheap ideas you can make, like jars with ingredients in them, a few cards nicely decorated (check back for a series of pictures and directions for this), or maybe a bookmark and gift card for your teachers!  This is the type of gifts you can make to get a start on stuff like this, and have a box ready to go so that just before Christmas, everything is made and done, and you can...for once...enjoy the holiday! 

Enjoy the next day or two...I will be posting a few idea's, with instructions and pictures on how to complete the projects.   If you want to see a specific idea, let  me know... I will be posting a "Secret Family Recipe's" gift idea for your friends or family....you will laugh when you see what is inside!  I can't wait to see what you think about it when you see it! 

Have a great few days, make sure to check back in a couple of days to check out more Christmas in July stuff!
