I created 4 kinds of cards this year and now I am sitting down and make a list who I had send what. I do not want to duplicate. So in a way I am involved with next years Christmas. /Angie

I love this Lillian!! I was actually just thinking I needed to start a list!! Hugs to you, Laura*

This is the only way to do Christmas gifts and idea. It is also the only way I do mine and have for years. It's a good idea and takes planning to coordinate this and not loose track. I even have a bin or box and put the items in it until the time they are needed.

I think it is good planning. I hope you do get a good start. I have been busy trying to make bookmarks and coasters to have on hand. I was getting low.

Smart girl. While you're in the mood and thinking about it all!

Yikes!

I have all ready started with 4 daughters son inlaws and 12 grands and 1 great grand I just keep going then I all ways have plenty that's my excuse lol ... linda

I have been making FSL for next Year while I have the Des handy and also writing down who received what this Year,so your not alone.Hugs and Happy New Year to you and everybody else.Ursula

Yes, Lillian, I do this too. As soon as my Ladies Christmas luncheon is done I start planning for the next one and the same with Christmas items. Love Chris

Yep. I started stitching today.. Hubby says I "mad" maybe but Ill be ready..

Oh yes I know the next projects and am starting as soon as my sewing room is decorated!

Good idea, thinking as always and than I leave it too late.
Am going to start early this time lol

Yes I am already planning and am going to start sewing next week. My granddaughters love what I make for them and they are always so excited. I spent today with two of them and they loved this years gifts which were embroidered napkins and hand towels. Next year they will get quilted table runners done up with embroidered designs. So I must get busy as there are five granddaughters.

Noooooooo

I am still sick, just siting here reading.

You are the smart one!. At present , I plan to try to finish the projects I had in the works and did not finish, especially the designs already loaded to my machine. Time just ran out on m this year. Kay

Yep! I've started a list. Haven't started stitching yet. I'm going to get some things done that I didn't get a chance to do for myself first.

My dear Lillian, you are a one of a kind treasure! There is no one like you.
However, those that prepare early are a very smart bunch.
I make gifts year round -- but they are given away long before December. I will have to work much harder this year to get more done early so I don't have as much of a rush in December. This year I will make items for my family much earlier. I can't have my machine in the shop when I need it most like happened this year. I will also give other's a cut off date much earlier next giving season. I do hope it all helps.
