Can you believe that the Countdown to Christmas 2015, hosted by Julie and Blu of Blue Morning Expressions on their Blu Print blog, has come to an end? It seems when it first starts that the end of the 12 weeks is a loooong way off. But, as we all know, those weeks roll on by very quickly. And Christmas will soon be here. According to the ever ticking Christmas clock, there are only 16 days, 18 hours and 23 minutes until Santa makes his yearly visit. I guess the real question now is: Have you been naughty or nice??? 





This week, 57 items were shared. There was a wide variety of items shared on this week's Countdown to Christmas: hand knit, crocheted and sewn beauties; fun polymer clay pieces; gorgeous lampwork glass beads beads; sparkling jewelry; a recycle glass bottle wreath; handmade cupcake toppers wooden ornaments and much more. There is something here in the Countdown for each and every person on your Christmas gift list, even the hard-to-buy-for person we all seem have on our list!  To see all of the artisan handmade items shared in my new blog post, please click on this link:  Countdown to Christmas - Week 12 - Handmade and Vintage
