103 Quick and Easy Christmas
Ideas
I have collected several books, project sheets
from craft stores, magazine articles, pamphlets , you name it,
over the years with holiday Ideas and activities....I was doing a homemaking
last summer and got together with my committee and we started writing down
our ideas as we were brainstorming. I wanted to compile a list to
give as a hand out. I started going through all my books and files....I
bet the girls would have fun making some of these for each other...Friends...
or who ever! Alot of these are simple items that
you would purchase and package up Christmasy and attatch a tag with
the cute little saying on it. Computers and clip art can make
the tags to cute these days! Linda
