A Well Purposed 12 Days of Christmas Crafting: (Taking the Last Minute Stress Out of Your Holiday)

I absolutely love Christmas! It is such a special time of year, I feel like our hearts widen a little bit and we have more to give. But even though I love Christmas I have been telling myself to hold off on Christmas posts until November! Well today is November 1st so I am finally giving myself permission to share my exciting Christmas plan with you!!

This year I wanted to give readers a special gift. So I am planning on a series called “A Well Purposed Christmas,” 12 days of Christmas crafting, decor and gift ideas just for you! There will be free gifts for you: patterns, printables and gift ideas. I am hoping it will help you plan ahead for Christmas, by giving you decorating and crafting ideas. Hopefully you can be less stressed and doing what matters most when Christmas rolls around!

That’s why we are starting in November!

I know Thanksgiving is still coming up, and I am not trying to ignore it or overlook it. Thanksgiving is a super important time to reflect on the goodness of the Lord through the year and enjoy some family time. And some people don’t want to think about Christmas until after Thanksgiving. So if that is you, I totally get it, just pin the posts you want to remember for later!

But since this series is like my gift to readers, I wanted you to have plenty of time to prepare the craft ideas and decorating ideas for Christmas! Some of the projects you will want to start way ahead of Christmas, like the DIY advent calendar. And some of the projects might be fun to do with your kids or grand-kids before Christmas. Especially if you will see them throughout the holiday season.

Plus partly it’s because I am a notorious last minute shopper and crafter. And through my holiday procrastination I have learned the best way to avoid holiday stress and save money is to plan ahead!

Usually I get super motivated a couple of days before Christmas to craft a million different things, but then I don’t have the time or the supplies I need. And since the beginning of November is a little bit slower, I decided that I would be able to create more and better crafts, projects and gifts if I give myself the time needed.

So that I can be more intentional with my relationship with Christ, present with my family, and less stressed during the Christmas season.

So Here’s What to Expect from A Well Purposed 12 Days of Christmas Crafting

• My plan is to post a new Christmas DIY decor idea or gift idea every other week day for the month of November!!
• I will have the post up each morning by 9am, unless anything crazy comes up. So it would be a good idea to bookmark the page or check back each morning. If you would like the posts sent directly to your inbox each day you can also sign up below.
• The projects will be similar to my others often times using re-purposed or inexpensive items to make truly beautiful crafts!
