Last year my excuse was moving, and this year my excuse is a new baby… but in the days of yore I spent who-knows-how-many hours making crafty decorations for the holidays. I wonder if I’ll ever have that much time on my hands again?

But of course, one of the best parts of making decorations is using them year after year… so thanks to Katie of Christmases past, I have plenty of handmade touches for Amelia’s first holiday season.  Most of these are so simple you could probably whip something up this weekend if you felt the holiday spirit. Or sip some cider and eat a ginger snap instead… that’s what I’ll be doing!
