Need a Little Help for Christmas?

It`s no secret that I`m in panic mode right now, with just 32 days till THE day. And I figure I`m probably not the only one. So, I`ve put together a list of links to help you out this holiday season. These are all things I`ve found online to make or do for Christmas.
Planet June has a really cute crochet candy cane ornament that you could whip up in minutes. And really, it`s just making rows, so even the most basic beginner could do this.
Need some design ideas? Here are a TON of free Christmas stencils, just print, cut out and use.
Ever wondered how to make one of these?
Well, wonder no more. LizMarie has a tutorial on Flickr showing you just how to put these suckers together. I`m planning on doing a bunch to hang from the ceiling.
Here`s a fun gingerbread ornament to make with kids. All you need is sandpaper, a cinnamon stick and some paint.
If you`ve been thinking about making homemade stockings this year . . . you might want to get started. They tend to take longer than anticipated!
For chilly nights, these Granny Square slippers are really fun. I once knew a couple who kept about 15 pairs of these slippers in various sizes by their door so when you came in and took off your shoes, you just slipped on a pair of slippers and felt right a home!
Not sure how to wrap those yummy truffles or tiny toys you made? I found the PERFECT solution. These adorable little houses and boxes on Flickr can just be printed out, pasted to cardboard and cut and folded to create really sweet little houses. There are other designs, too, so you could use them for Christmas or Easter or even a birthday.
Last link for today . . . the sweetest little advent swag EVER! Love this, even though I`m not making it. 
I am, however, going to be making this cute peppermint star!
I`ll be linking to other fun and cheap ways to decorate for Christmas over the coming weeks, so stay tuned!
