If you live on the Northeast Coast of the United States, you don’t need a reminder that winter is coming. The 5-12” you got last week should be plenty. However, if you live (like me!) in rainy Seattle (or anywhere else) you are probably just starting to get in the winter spirit. For Seattle-ites that means dark long rainy days but for me it means that the holidays are just around the corner!
At this week’s Tech Tuesday chat, we discussed Holiday Craft trips and tricks you can do with your PC. In fact, we shared one a minute for the entire hour. Talk about getting crafty! Those who attend the Twitter chat asked that we share the top answers. So here are 12 great holiday craft ideas to get you in the mood for embracing winter.
