Is anyone out there getting a bit frantic out there with the approach of Christmas? I seem to have 172 projects in the works for Christmas gifts and I've only finished one so far. I've been writing out our Christmas cards in stages, sewing a little here and a little there, and getting practically nothing done! I think next year I'll just tackle all the cards in an afternoon so I can have it done and over with.
I can't tell you the details of my Christmas projects because some of my readership will be recipients of the gifts. I suppose I could tell you . . . but then I'd have to kill you.
I also have this eyes-are-bigger-than-my-stomach tendency to attempt to make way more gifts than I realistically have time for. And I just LOVE giving homemade gifts! It not only saves money, it shows the gift recipient that I cared enough to take the time to make something special.
How are you doing on your Christmas shopping/gift-making?

I have about 90 percent of my shopping done. I have to go to Kinkos tomorrow or Tuesday to get picture calendars. Thos make great gifts for grandparents!
I have lots of baking to do though. I've only made my Butterfinger Balls so far. I did the mass majority of my Christmas cards, but still have some stragglers.
I'm right there with you--tackled too much with too little time, as usual! We leave to visit Jim's family in 2-3 days, so there are some things that just won't get done this year--mostly cookies.
