Thank you for including me in your list of 12 days! I feel so blessed! There are so many lovely ideas! Merry Christmas, friend! :)
I love the idea of homemade gifts. I think they take thought and time and I appreciate that so much. I have made a few things this year, I hope others appreciate it just as much. I need to start thinking of my Christmas gift crafting in July, though. More time!
They are all so beautiful! I have my holiday gift making done, but I am going to jot down a few of these for upcoming birthdays for sure. Thanks for sharing!
Lovely ideas Julia, thank you for sharing them! This weekend I'm also going to sew the last things, and hopefully finish knitting as well ... let's see :)
I'm so happy about thise printable tags - they'll be decorating some of our gifts!

Such fun and creative gift ideas. I love them all, but I've pinned the dolly accessories to make for my grandgirl who loves being a "mommy." Thank you, Julia! Merry Christmas.
What a fun list of items to make! If only I had more time - we head out-of-state next week so I won't be making anything else!
Thanks for your sharing, it's a good post, keep going and support you.
Camera bag and crocheted camera strap, apron in a jar, & fabric lunch sacks...You never disappoint when it comes to inspiration, Julia!
What beautiful, thoughtful gifts! Thanks for the ideas.
You can definitely see your enthusiasm in the work
you write. The sector hopes for more passionate writers such as you who are not afraid to
say how they believe. At all times go after your heart.

Sew very cute, Julia! Wish I had time to make them all. I love that fall scarf...but the little baby doll Moses basket and nursing sling are too adorable!
I just made market tote bags for Mary and Benjamin's teachers! I posted some pics on my (new) blog.
Hope that Advent is bringing you peace...I know this must be a very trying time for you and your loved ones this Christmas season! My family has walked down this same path...it is a hard one.
Blessings,
Valerie.
Great posting! Too bad I didn't spotted in time!
