December "Christmas Decoration Kit"



This month we will make up a "Christmas Decoration Kit" for our partners. Since this is Christmas this month I thought it might be fun to put together a kit of Christmas decoration items for our partners.

So here is what you will swap:


  1. A pattern for a Christmas decoration [Santa, tree,ornament,ect]
  2. Enough yarn for the project
  3. All the notions needed to complete the project
  4. Something red and white
  5. Some Christmas goodies or candy
  6. A Christmas card [bought or handmade] or Christmas CD
  7. A note with your family "Christmas Traditions" you do at your house [tell how you exchange gifts, tell stories,watch a certain movie, play games, ect]

Let's get creative and give our partners a fun project that they can make for the upcoming holiday for themselves or as a gift. Please try and get your packages out earlier this month as Christmas is in the 3rd week. The stores are filled with Christmas goodies so there are tons to choose from.
