Shanna asked:


All right, im getting all my stuff ready to decorate for Christmas and all of my stocking are different from each other. I thought it would be fun to make my own stockings this year so we all have matching ones. So, I need to make one for me, my husband, our son and daughter (son is 4 daughter is 2) our 2 dogs and our 2 cats. I know im probably weird to hang stockings for the pets but I am! lol Anyway, I want something different. Im not great at sewing but I can do a little bit. I was thinking along the lines of buying plain stockings at the dollar store then doing something to make them personalized. I tried googling it but I cant find anything I care for, not to mention hardly any pictures. So, any help would be very appreciated, thanks!!!

(any other christmas craft ideas would be great as well, something that my kids and I can do together – but mainly im looking for stocking ideas)

Pickles asked:


I would like to sell the branches to wholesalers (they’re used for craft / decorative purposes) and the larger parts of branches to sell as decorative firewood. Any idea when I need to do this harvesting (particularly for the small branches for decorative purposes) and what to do with them after they are cut (do they need to be dried a special way and/or packaged a special way?). Location is upstate NY.

The kids are all ages 5-7 and I need something to keep them occupied for 10-15 minutes while their gingerbread houses dry and there are around 7-9 kids. Any quick and easy-to-clean-up crafts and/or games would be appreciated. Thanks!

LittleMermaid asked:


I have done everything to get ready for Christmas this year. Including buying or making gifts for my 3 stepkids, my son, our daughter, his mom, my mom, my dad and stepmom, my brother and his wife, and our 10 neices and nephews. I made photo memory quilts for his mom, my mom, and my dad, have spent the past few weeks making candles, making candy, painting crafts, stocking up on food for Christmas dinner, and wrapped every single gift. I only had our 2 yr. olds left to wrap and I called him at my brothers, where he was playing video games, and asked him to come get her, so I could wrap her gifts without her seeing me. He came home, put a movie on for her in her room, and plopped downn in his recliner with a bag of chips, some queso, and started watching TV. I finally made a comment about it. He got up slammed the chips down, snatched my daughter up, and started to leave. I lost my temper then and told him how sorry it was that he has done nothing to help me. He said nothing and left!
Beetlejuice: ARE YOU SERIOUS????
Yes, the types of homemade gifts that I made were my choice, but as I said he also didn’t buy one single gift for his kids, my son, our daughter or even his own mother. I did all that. So, if it had been his choice none of them would have gotten a thing. Yes, I choose to buy these people these gifts, but if I had been a real hateful person, I would have only bought for my 2 kids and my family, and skipped his kids and his mom. The least that he could have done was helped wrap or watch our daughter while I did all this stuff. If it were left up to him, he would have waited till the last minute and put very little thought into their gifts. I thought it was pretty nice for me to make his mom that memory quilt, with photos of him as a child on it. He never would have thought of that. I don’t mean I wanted him to sew, make candles, or bake, but he didn’t offer to help with anything. That is what my issue is.
Velkin: I did start months ago, but with that many people to buy for, or make gifts for, and to wrap,, it is hard to find time for all the Christmas stuff, when you are getting no help from your husband, but yet he is certainly going to take alot of the credit for the gifts.
