Since Christmas is just around the corner tell us all what gifts you plan on making... Could be cards, making small gifts, knitting something, baking cookies, etc. Whatever it is, please share it with us...might give the rest of us a much needed idea :)
You have until 11-17 to post your comment to be entered to win.
I have a nice assortment of Fall-ish goodies ready to send out to one lucky responder.
Happy November!!!
Where ever did you gather all those daily observances from!! Really? Cookie Monster Day!! Wild. Uh christmas. Now Halloween is over I suppose we must refocus. I'm making a calendar, an altered house printer tray (for a doll's house enthusiast), cards of course, and maybe some water candles, cos they are always a talking point and I haven't made any for a while. Off to research Chicken Lady Day. Any excuse for a party........
ReplyDeleteI like Chicken Lady Day on the 4th... I happen to have 3 pet chickens.
ReplyDeleteI will do some holiday baking and plan to try out some candy making too! I usually make 3 or 4 types of cookies to share with friends and neighbors.

I bake goodies to give out with my homemade cards. Since I have to bake "wheat-free" (no gluten allowed in my body!!) my friends & family are usually wondering what I'll come up each year. Most can't tell the difference between regular cookies & the gluten-free cookies I make.
ReplyDeleteHoly Smokes that's alot going on for all those days ... Toilet day Come on that must be one crappy day lol, and it goes with Rocky and Bullwinkle day LOL but the next one is National Peanut butter fudge day so the world resets lol
ReplyDeletethanks for this list who would have thought so many things where happening in Nov lol
hugs Nikki C
Oh and I plan on making cards for all my friends then baking up a storm so they all have full tummies :)
ReplyDeleteLove reading the list of special days! Oh, I wish I knew TODAY was Men Make Dinner Day!! LOL And I cooked! Hmmmmm.... havent really finalized Christmas gift plans, but I always make hand-made cards and home made cookies and candies to give out.
ReplyDeleteHi Roni - I will be making lots of cards - and I put money in them for my friends and family - makes life easier for me at Christmas time and they like to go shopping! It is a win/win situation! Have a great week! Thanks for the chance to win some Fall goodies! Gail

This is my birthday month so maybe I will get lucky. I am already working on my gifts. I made a 3D mailbox for my sister and a trunk for my other sister. I am woking on some necklaces for my daughter. And I made a book for my grand daughter that I just need to add photos to. Still more to do. thanks as always for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try to make some homemade money cards (this will the first for me). Just hope my nephews will like them since they are teenagers!!!
ReplyDeleteI am making assortments of cards to give to the women in my life who are so hard to shop for!

ReplyDeleteWell, I'm sure a lot of you aren't ready for the holidays. It seems like they come faster and faster. For some of my gifts this year, I'm paper (die-cut) ornaments, address books, magnetic calendar, cards, and who knows what else. Now I feel like I need to hurry up and get done. Christmas is next month! Yikes!
ReplyDeleteWow! Who could possibly celebrate all of those? To be honest, Christmas only took 6 months getting here this year! I am making ornaments:

and bracelet fasteners (which are easy to make and use only 14 inches of wire):

I'm hoping to put together some cards for Christmas and Hanukkah. And some baking. We still haven't had Halloween yet! Can't quite wrap my head around Christmas plans yet.
ReplyDeleteI always love your list of holidays. I used to use them at work when I was the "social director" to find fun themes for our monthly parties.
ReplyDeleteWhat am I making for christmas... some cards, some books, some gifty packaging...
Ah yes moving right through the year aren't we?! I'll be making more Christmas charms, an altered clock, cards and a wall hanging or two. Yikes! I better get busy!
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on making holiday cards for special friends
ReplyDeleteCalenders, framed pages.
ReplyDeleteThis year I will be altering a cigar box and creating a mini scrapbook album.
ReplyDeleteI will be making some cards and i made a few bracelets
ReplyDeleteJoan Fiskateer #808
I hope to make a little something every day in December...a tag, a quick mini-book, an ornament, etc. Something quick that doesn't require a lot of thought. I just need to jump in and do it.
ReplyDeleteMy MIL and I make scrapbook pages for each other so I will be working on that. Also, I make a couple of photo books for some family members. Thanks for the opportunity to win! :)
