My {etsy} Christmas list

November 29, 2011

Over the weekend I finished up my Christmas list. Yes, this 29 year old still makes a Christmas list. It’s not that I am Ã¼ber greedy, it’s just that I love gift giving and I want everyone in my family to give and receive good gifts. I think this is best accomplished if everyone shares a gift list of items they actually want/need. I would rather get an item that costs $10 that I really love than a $50 item that is only mediocre.

However, one thing about my Christmas list was very different this year. It’s still mostly clothes and other pretty things, but it’s the source of these items that has changed. My family doesn’t need to fight the crowds at the mall to get me something I will love. No. They only need to hop online because over half of my wish list items can be found on Etsy. I guess I’m really a true blogger now…

Here are some of my favorite handmade items this Christmas season…

And this doesn’t really count, because I already bought these… but to kick off the Christmas season I ordered our Christmas cards from Naptime Diaries. And if you haven’t met Jessi, please head to her blog. Her love for Jesus and her family inspires me daily.

    Hi Jen,

    I haven't got the chance to say thank you until now. So sorry about my delay! Thank you SO much for featuring me in your beautiful blog!!! Have a wonderful holidays!

Hi. I’m Jen Russum and this blog is where I’ve been sharing narratives of God’s grace for more than a decade now. Some might say “blogs are dead” but I’m waiting for them to come back around like mom jeans and 90s flannel. I enjoy my coffee iced, my summers hot, and my dinner parties long with lots of laughter. I process all of life’s deepest, darkest, and happiest moments by writing essays in my head. When I have the time, some of these essays get typed up and shared here. I’ve always loved to write, and I hope my words bring you joy and encouragement.
