I don't know about you, but I can't believe that Christmas is here this week!
We will be bringing baked goods to neighbors, going to a cookie exchange, and wrapping up last minute gifts:).
And because I am a professional procrastinator, I thought I would share some of my last minute ideas.
Here are some things on my to do list...
I am going to try and make these...I just found the tutorial at Design Mom.
Don't they look like a fun gift for a friend or family member?
I LOVE the mugs from Anthropologie, so these would be so neat. You could use any font to customize each one.
Cranberry Bliss Bars are on my baking agenda.
They are divine! Recipe HERE.
I am also hoping to make these for the neighbors...Oreo Truffles!
It is such a fun treat to make with your kids...and it is Christmas, after all...so we don't hold back on the goodies.

For our friends with children..."Root Deer."
Too cute!
I am wishing I would have had time to do this for the neighbors.
Isn't it a neat idea?
Maybe next year:).

If time allows, I might sew up a couple of these cute teddy bear/dolly sleeping bags for Lily.
{via Flossie Teacakes}
{via Little Lovelies}
These might be added to my neighbor/friend gifts...they look like a fast and easy addition.
Wrapping is so fun to me...
Here are some great and frugal ideas!
Just click on the picture to go to the source.
I printed out these tags and they are just "make" the package. I love the design!
I know there is a bunny on that bag, but what a cute idea!
AND if we get snow...I am really hoping we have a white Christmas...the kids and I are totally doing this!
Wishing you a wonderful week of preparation!

Wow! Those gift wrapping ideas were amazing! How creative!
Happy Countdown to Christmas, Julia!
Loved all the sweet ideas you posted...I think Santa is going to leave the Reindeer Rootbeer for my little ones. They love rootbeer, so what a fun treat!
Blessings from the Heartland,

What a great post! I love all of these ideas. The snowman at the end is my favorite...it made me laugh out loud...totally going to do that with my kids, too! If it ever snows...
Have a very Merry Christmas!

So many lovely ideas all in one place! But I have to say that snowman is just what I needed today as I head back to school. I am going to share that picture with my 4th graders - now if we could just get enough snow to make that happen. :)
