Yep! It's another round-up! I might have to have a round-up of my round-ups, there are so many and - thanks to a ton of talented people - so many awesome ideas you don't want to miss! Today's focus (if you couldn't tell from the title) is CHRISTMAS! I personally LOVE Handmade Christmas. I love it so much I generally look for random people to make presents for. Then I leave it all until the last minute and swear I'll never do that again.
Well, now we have a roundup of ideas in August, so no excuses!

I really love this list - thank you for putting it together! One small thing: all your links are out of order for the pictures, so you have to click through all of them to figure out which one is which. Is there any way you can fix this? I've been going through your archives building my Christmas gift to-do list, and I'm loving all the stuff I've found!
