Last night, my sister Jennifer called and said she was so inspired after flipping through the magazine that she made Jerusalem's candy canes and Heather's chenille chain. Then she kept going, making tiny wreaths from pipe cleaners to attach to gifts. She was inspired by Swirly Designs ad to make polymer clay tags and have Maggie paint them. It was a bit of a craftapoolza over there at her house.
I hope you'll make lots of things from the magazine. My goal was that each reader will be inspired to make at least one thing from the magazine. I want you to say not just "oh what a cute idea" but "Oh! I must make that!" Right Now!"
What are you inspired to make?
If you make something from this issue, or the last, will you upload it to the Inspired Ideas Flickr Group?

I'm so inspired to do so many of these projects. My faves are your little stitched trees, the gift garland, the burlap and lace door hanger, and... okay, I'm a bit excited. I will try to post photos on flickr as I complete them. It will be so fun to see everyone's take on these wonderful projects!

I love the magazine. First of all, I'm crazy for Christmas and start crafting and planning gifts in August! But now that the season is finally here, I'm even more in the swing of things. The muffin tin advent calendar is such a great idea and the first of many crafts I hope to borrow from this issue. Thanks for all the inspiration and ideas! So glad I came across your work!
I most certainly will...joining now! I blogged about this, it's amazing...thank you so much!
