I’ve been LOVING all the Christmas in July post floating around the blog world the last several weeks! You can read some of my past stumbles here and here.
And now a few things I’m highlighting this week:
Decorations & Preparations ~
Ho! Ho! Ho! Santa Craft by Thrifty Decor Chick: I love, love, love this whimsical look! It just makes me smile!!
Holiday Packages from Tom Kat Studio: Did you see that The Tom Kat Studio is having a Christmas in July Sale? All her Holiday Printable Packages are just $5. A steal!
Gift Ideas ~
Messy but Beautiful Artwork by Impress Your kids: I was in love with this as soon as I saw it!! Definitely copying this before the holidays. I’m on the hunt for our perfect verse!
Subway Art from Tatertots & Jello: If you prefer a more modern or clean look (or like me, you prefer both!), then check out this tutorial.
Foodie Stuff ~
Christmas Cookie Kit: This is one of those gift & food combos – the best kind of gift, in my opinion! Doesn’t this just look like it’d be fun to get? I’m thinking a teacher, neighbor or even a child’s friend.
Chocolate Mint Cookies by A Southern Fairytale: Oh I love chocolate & mint & cookies … so combined? Yummy!!

Last week I mentioned that I would reading all the Christmas in July posts that I could find! And thanks to some really great carnivals I have not been disappointed! Now if only I got started on some of those Christmas projects!
Ornaments ~
Playful Partridge by Retro Mama: So cute! And with her great tutorial, even I might be able to pull this off! My Sisterchicks all need one of these!
Monogrammed Ornaments by Embellished Bayou: In all honesty, I doubt I have a steady enough hand to make these look good, but they are so cute! I think they’d make great gifts or just a few on my tree!
Gift Ideas ~
Grandma’s Sweets from How Does She?: I love this idea! And it’s so versatile. I can picture it as a quick and easy Sunday School or Pre-School Teacher Gift too.
Hand-Trees from According to Kelly: So cute!! A grandmother would be crazy not to love this! I wish I had seen this before making my Thanksgiving Tree – I would have totally stolen the “hand idea”.
Foodie Stuff ~
Do It Yourself Smore Kit by Twig & Thistle: So this is really a gift & food combined – the best kind right! I’ve never given our neighbors gifts before, but I just might!! How fun would this be to receive?!?
How to Decorate Christmas Light Cookies by A Southern Fairytale: I’m horrible, absolutely horrible at decorating cookies. But I wish I could pull these off!! I just think they’re fun & whimsical!

Earlier this week I stopped in Hobby Lobby for a little birthday-bash (both kiddos in August!) planning. And my heart got a little giddy. Not because of the fun summer items out or even the back-to-school things, no none of that. I got giddy because the Christmas Trees were coming out!! Ornaments, decorations and the whole nine yards!! I think this either makes people extremely frustrated or (for people like me) it puts a spring in your step & makes your heart sing!!
I love thinking about Christmas in July! And apparently, I’m not the only one!
The blogging world is all about some Christmas in July too!
So if you’re like me (and if you’re not – well sorry Scrooge!), then you might enjoy some of these fun posts:
Skip to My Lou, A Southern Fairytale, and According to Kelly are all joining forces to bring us a Handmade Holiday: Bake, Craft & Sew Along – How fun is that!! It kicks off this Monday & they have over three dozen bloggers in the loop to give us some inspiration. Should be fun!
TipJunkie is also hosting a Christmas in July extravaganza starting July 18th. And like always, she wants to feature YOU!
And to help your tummy get in the Christmas Spirit, check out this post from Alli-n-Son. She has seven yummy Christmas in July Recipes listed. My stomach is growling!
So, Merry Christmas in July to you!!
And on a personal note …
Thank you everyone for linking up. I’m so happy to read your posts & help spread the love through twitter shout-outs. Thanks for helping our little Saturday Stumbles linky grow!
