I love Christmas. In fact, my family calls me “the Christmas girl” and “Cindy Lou Who” during this time of year. One of the myriad things I love about the Christmas season is that it gives me an excuse to make gifts for the ones I love.
A few years ago I decided I wanted to make a Christmas planner for my mom as a little Thanksgiving gift. So I searched online for examples and found tons, of course. But then I found one particular resource that’s right on the mark: christmasplanner.com gathers tutorials from all over the web for making Christmas planners of all varieties! Nice.
I chose one of the examples, followed the tutorial, and this is what I came up with for Mom:

If you’ve been wanting to make a planner but think it will take too much of your precious Christmas crafting time, just take a few minutes to look at this site before you decide. The examples/tutorials range from very simple to really involved. So, you can choose how much time to devote to your project. I chose to follow a tutorial that was on the simple side, and I really enjoyed making it. Plus it gave me a nice opportunity to use some of my Christmasy supplies and then give away the final result! Happy crafting!
