Revisiting 2007 Holiday Projects

Love the advent boxes -- I think I will do this this year -- you can get small boxes like this at Michaels in packages of 4 -- they come in square, oval, round and I think hexagon. Very cute idea!

Thanks for the re-cap, Ali! Love all of these ideas.
I think I'll have to try the initial ornaments and the holiday collage this year - so, so cool!
Enjoy your stuffing - stuffing is SO awesome!!

Thanks for posting Ali - I have my advent boxes almost done and am pretty excited about them. Had to make two - one for Brody and one for our grandson. These will be such a nice feature during xmas. Also have my 24 days of xmas book ready - excited about that. Working vigorously on finishing some quilts for xmas, potatoe bags - almost done.
Yah - hope you and your family have a great thanksgiving week.

Thanks!!!
Off to see them!

Hi, Ali! I just started reading your blog this year and haven't gone back to look at all the posts before. So, I love that you're doing recaps this week! What lovely projects you have here, as always. All of them are beautiful and positively inspiring. Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving Week to you and yours.

Funny. In the middle of my Christmas decorating last night, I needed some inspiration... so I hopped on your blog and went through your November and December archives from past years. :o) It helped! Thanks!

fun stuff.

Just wanted to share that I finished my Advent boxes last night and I just have to find fun trinkets to fill them with. Which is difficult for a one year old! Can't wait to hang them up!
Thanks for the great ideas!

i have always loved your christmas projects. the holiday collage gets used every month with different elements, of course, to highlight the month. and the kids can't wait to get out the advent boxes. that was a hit last year. thanks so much for sharing that one. it is now a permanent tradition.

Good intentions...hah! I love your holiday projects and really did mean to try at least one of them. Maybe this year...

Ali,
Thanks so much for sharing the Advent box idea. I just finished mine last night. My kids are so curious to see what will happen with them, lots of anticipation! I want to try to get to a Christmas collage this year too. We'll see. Thanks also for sharing that you didn't get a chance to finish the ATC spinner last year. Glad to know that I am not the only one revisiting a few unfinished products from years past! Have a Happy Thanksgiving with your family!

Ohhhh, I'd forgotten about the square punch collage! thanks for putting these back up! enjoy your family time! Peace.

OH! I am getting excited to work on holiday crafts! I plan on playing around with the ATC spinner and I want to make a collage. Also, I do a lot of stamping, so my big project is to make my Christmas cards. Thanks for getting me amped up!

Hi Ali, I love all these wonderful ideas. I was hoping maybe you might have some suggestions for some fairly simple,inexpensive ideas for teachers gifts? I have two daughters and one daughter because she is special needs has nine wonderful teachers/PT,OT. We want to thank them all and hopefully in a creative way! Thanks, Amy

I remember these! You always make the most creative Christmas decor!! Love ya Ali :)

I made the button trees, and they turned out wonderfully. Thanks for all the inspiration - have a blessed Thanksgiving!

so festive! those jumbo cap magnets have always interested me. You did such a nice job on them.

So excited you're teaching next year on BPS! Thank you, thank you, thank you! So looking forward to it!

Just made the button trees this weekend with the kids - it was a huge hit!

You are so totally inspiring!
