I know it is only September 1st and it is terrible to even consider Christmas but I frequent Michaels and they already have the Christmas supplies and decorations starting to hit the shelves. I told the clerk that we should be able to get through the first day of school and maybe even Halloween before Christmas but she said crafters have to start early.
In the mail I receive the ABC Distributing Catalog and it too has Christmas decorations which have given me a little inspiration.
Last year we had an ugly sweater party and everyone made an ugly sweater. it was so much fun! I had gotten some foam stickers from Michaels, took some all-craft glue to reinforce the stickers and went to town on my sweater. As also during Christmas season I usually come down with some horrible cold and of course the weekend of our party was when I was feeling awful! I was pale and pastey and my nose was red like Rudolph.
I even made an ugly sweater for my fur baby Charlie! He wasn't thrilled about it so it lasted about as long as the photo shoot did.
So after seeing the catalogs and thinking about my last year craft projects (other than the ugly sweaters) I got to thinking about what I want to do this year. Since I am on a tight budget and I can be pretty crafty I stole an idea from the ABC Catalog.
To be fair these are solar ornaments that catch the sun during the day and glow during the night. As awesome as this is I thought hey! I can do that! So I have been collecting ideas online of things I want to attempt to do myself.
