Stocking Holder

I like this idea. I think this is a fun way to hang stockings.

Jean Christmas Stockings

I don't think I'd use these for my main stockings, but I like this idea.

Christmas Card Holder

Instead of throwing away Christmas cards each year but them in a binder. Seperating the cards by year.

3 Gifts of Christmas

I got this idea from naptimejournal.blogspot.com. The idea is that the baby Jesus got three gifts that first Christmas and so that should be enough for us. Also, having meaning behind the gifts is more important than the quantity. This is a great way to remember the real meaning of Christmas.

There are three different gifts:
The Gift of Wonder: perhaps something from Santa.
The Gift of Usefulness: a new tool set or sewing supplies or perhaps clothes.
The Gift of Meaning: something homemade or something that would have a special meaning between the giver and receiver.

Chip boards were used (found at a scrapbook store) covered in scrapbook paper. Punch a large whole at the top and add an eyelet. You can punch smaller whole around the edge if you like and add embroidery floss to finish it off. Print the words and add finishes then use Mod Podge to seal it.
