I spent some time yesterday shopping for craft supplies to get started on Christmas presents. I can’t believe it’s almost that time again! I want to share some helpful things to get your creativity wheels turning.
Skip to my Lou is using the month of September to post ideas for handmade gifts, and has included a printable planner. She has a cute little sidebar button so all the ideas will be in one handy spot.

It was in the comments to Skip to my Lou’s post that I found Handmade Holidays. They have some good ideas, with more on the way, as well as more helpful printable planner pages.

Finally, Graham Family Ministries is having a one week holiday sale on The 12-Week Holiday Planner for Christian Families. I was going to buy it this week anyway, so I’m very happy to save $4! (use code holidaysale) I want to encourage you to sign up for their monthly newsletter if you don’t get it. They offer so many encouraging articles, links and e-books. I’m really enjoying my Intentional Planner – the June-December 2008 is only $3 and 2009 is only $5.

Do you know of any new sites that are posting handmade holiday ideas? Please share them!
