First snowflakes mean Christmas thoughts

Tea Wreath

Stumbled on this today.  Very cool idea!  It comes from a series at Frugal Experiments on Christmas ideas. 

I often have good intentions to make more stuff at Christmas.  I love to pour over the magazines with their make-a-zillion-things-in -a-jar ideas or DIY fused-glass frames an the like.  Unfortunately, not only do I lack any real artistic talent, but I am awesome at leaving things until the last minute.  Creativity needs time (to allow for the multitude of mega-mistakes I make) and to let the project work into something worthwhile.   I am a more non-perfectionist-off-the-cuff type personality.  That doesn't make most things look worthy of wrapping and sharing.  I am working on that.

There are 43 days until Christmas.  My goal: to make something worth sharing with someone I care about for Christmas.  I want to have more than commercial things under the tree.  Will it work?  I hope so.  Ask me on December 24th while I frantically set fire to a scupture in the garage.  The tea wreath is looking better and better.  Could I alter it to hold mini-bar bottles of spirits?  Hmmmm. 

What do you create for your holiday?  Are you trying something new?  Do share, I'd love to hear (and be jealous) of your creations.
