Christmas in July (And a Giveaway!)
Posted by Deirdre Quirk on Jul 10th 2015
Merry Christmas! By now, Christmas in July is a time-honored tradition. Who doesn't love bringing holiday cheer to the sweltering summer months?
But it's also a well-timed reminder that the real Christmas season will be on us before we know it. If you're planning on giving handmade gifts, hanging handmade stockings on your mantel, or otherwise bringing some handmade charm into your holiday, you'd be well-advised to start on those projects now.
