Hello! Hi! I decided that I would like to make this diary specifically for my holiday ideas. I'm always looking for new and creative ways to be festive during the holidays. Not just Christmas but all holidays though Christmas seems to be the one that puts me in the most spirit. I figured it would help to have a place that I can "stash" all of my ideas and at the same time share them with you guys. I will be more than happy to post any ideas that you may have too along with your name, diary name, or an actual link to your diary, whichever you would prefer. Or you can always go the anonymous route as well, just say so in a private message. I love to make crafts and homemade gifts. But I also just like finding new ideas and new twists on old ideas. Money is severely tight anymore so I'm looking harder than ever. I can't even be one to say that I live paycheck to paycheck...more like paycheck, to borrowing from in-laws, to paycheck seems about the right of it. Not always though but it's still nice to conserve when and where you can. I got the idea recently when looking up something for my husbands family for Christmas. We don't usually do gift exchange except with the parents because there are so many of them. I usually bake cookies and hand them out so they know we were at least thinking of them. But I needed something new this year. Still going with the idea but I don't just want to stuff them in some pretty tin can and hand them over. I just like to change things up. In the process I found loads of ideas. Now some will be like well I could have thought of that! Or even I did that. But some of us, myself included, just get to busy, or to stressed to think, or we just plain out don't have it in us. lol. So, as I find things that I think are interesting I'll post them in this diary, along with any ideas you guys have. Come on! I know some of you out there have something you can share! :) | |
