Christmas Prep 2017 - Only 2 Months To Go!!

Holy moly folks!  I am feeling the pressure now.  With only two months left to go I've got to get it in gear!  I'm making some headway but not near where I was hoping I'd be. 

I'm still making undies and had hoped to have that project done by now.  I've also made some yummy berry jam and pear butter.  You saw the darling little ornaments we made Sunday.  Those will be gifts for teachers, classmates and co-workers.  

I've decided to buy cards this year rather than make them (unless I get super crafty) as our printer is old and we are having difficulty finding ink jet cartridges.  They aren't making them anymore and the last ones we got were terrible.  Time for an upgrade I'm afraid.  Kind of irritates me because the printer is absolutely fine.  I may try the refurbished cartridges.  Have any of you used those?

Our holiday menus are planned and we are going to eat quite well and it isn't going to cost us an arm and a leg either.  I've got the Christmas steaks in the deep freeze and our sides dishes and desserts will be simple.  I'm very much looking forward to baking some goodies and decorating the house.

We still have much to do and I'll be posting some of the things we create so you can make some too if you like.  How are your preparations going?  Have you started yet?  I know some of you have shared that you prefer to wait until it is much closer to the actual day.  I'm still sticking to my deadline of Thanksgiving weekend to get all my gifts finished up.  Wish me luck!
