Make It a Handmade Christmas - Countdown - Week 8

 

 

It seems the weeks for the Countdown to Christmas seem to speed by quicker and quicker.  Only 4 more weeks of sharing handmade beauties and promoting our friends are left!  This means, of course, that Christmas is getting even closer.  According to the ever ticking Christmas clock, there are only 47 days left until jolly Santa Claus shows up behind his team of reindeer.  Let’s help Santa make it a HANDMADE Christmas this year!

 

 

 

Let It Snow Winter Wonderland Dog Bandana Handmade by Donna of SewAmazin

 

 

With the approaching gift buying and gift giving season in mind, Julie and Blu of Blue Morning Expressions are hosting yet again a twelve-week Countdown to Christmas 2017 of artisan handmade items on their The Blu Print blog.  The twelve week time period was chosen to correspond with the Christmas carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas.”  As was mentioned above, week 8 has come and gone on Julie and Blu's "Countdown to Christmas 2017." A wonderful assortment of artisan handmade items was left in it wake.  Included are: many styles of beautiful jewelry, dog bandanas, lovely crocheted and knitted items, breathtaking photography, awesome art glass creations, eye catching original art, glowing lampwork glass beads, cute holiday stickers, wonderful woodwork . . . all these and more creative items were shared for your perusal.

The items shared need to be G-rated.

If you share items on the Countdown, you ***MUST*** promote the collection and ***EACH*** item on at least one social network site, preferably Pinterest, Twitter or G+ where the items can be easily seen and then promoted again.  It's only fair to promote each of the participants who have promoted you!

In addition to saving each handmade item from the Countdown collection to my Pinterest board, Wanelo collection and Twitter feed, I decided to share one item from each of the artists who participated this week.  Here are my picks of the items, in an order determined by drawing numbers from my trusty numbers bowl (except those who shared late after I had already set up this post):
