i was alarmed when, at the very beginning of october, i went into a department store, and discovered that the halls had already been decked in boughs of holly, tinsel, feathers and a heavenly host of other shiny baubles. the beginning! of october! it’s madness!

but now that it is the beginning of november, i feel barely a qualm about plugging this crafty little tome that i designed for kids craft weekly.

“christmas craft” is full of ideas for such xmassy essentials as cards, ornaments, decorations, and advent calenders. you don’t even need a kid to partake of all this festive fun! after all, you can’t be on the internet all the time, can you?

well… i can. either that or it’s super mario 64.

but you: you can download this bounty of handmade goodness for 5 bucks (7.50 in australian money, pending the plummeting dollar) and relive the glory days when your fingers could do more than double-click.
