***THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED***
Yesterday I started working on some Christmas planning, shopping, list-making, and crafting. I know it’s early, but I got really excited about Christmas all of a sudden, and thought I should put the energy to good use!
One of the projects I started working on is sewing little felt bird Christmas ornaments. I would love to make enough bird ornaments (this kind and several others too) to fill our whole tree this year. Fabric ornaments are very child(and cat)-friendly.
Today I am giving away one of these little bird ornaments to a faithful blog reader!

Thanks for reading!
CUTE ornaments!! I would love to win one!! My time-saving tip is that I buy the paper and envelopes for our annual Christmas newsletter the year before—either right before Christmas or right after (on sale!) Then, when the mood strikes to begin writing/printing our letter, I have what I need to begin. Saves the stress & worry of finding “just the right paper” at the last minute (and, yes, sometimes I even have enough energy and creativity to coordinate our photo with the paper–that is really fun!) Last year I bought some with a child-like look since I knew I’d be announceing a grandbaby next Christmas!!
Those are really cute & I definitely need some kid friendly ornaments this year…my little one will be 8 months & probably quite active!!
My time saving tip is shopping ahead of time! I like to have all of my shopping done before December even begins so I can really enjoy the holiday season!!

Awe, no Canadian love!! My tip, regardless of whether I can participate or not, is to keep things simple. Spending time with the people I love is far more important than having the perefct Christmas tree 🙂
My reducing stress tip is to shop online first, amazon and many other websites are great! Shopping in person with crazy people at the mall can be very stressful especially after Thanksgiving sales! Lots of places have their sales online as well, so don’t bother getting out of bed go online!

What cute little bird ornaments! I think your tree will look absolutely spectacular filled with these little birds!
My time-saving Christmas tip is to limit the number of gifts you give to each person. Then, you are able to focus more on what the Christmas season should really be about, spending time with loved ones. We used to give lots of gifts in our family, but a few years back, we decided to cut back. Now, each person gives 1 gift to some other randomly determined person (we draw names from a hat). It makes the Christmas season a lot more enjoyable when you don’t have to shop for a bazillion presents. So each family member receives just one (but one very carefully selected) Christmas gift. Of course, we do this only for the grown-ups because shopping for the kids is a whole different story. That’s way more fun!
