Happy Holidays!

For me, the Christmas season doesn't officially start until after Thanksgiving Day. I don't care how soon they have the trees and decorations up in the stores. After posting a few Thanksgiving ideas I thought I would let everyone have a head start and get busy creating your Christmas decorations. Here are a few of my fav. Hopefully I'll have some spare time to finish them.
