Too early for Christmas?

[WAXYO]

I have volunteered to donate a basket of hand-stamped items and a SU! gift certificate as a raffle prize for our homeowners association's annual block party during Labor Day weekend.

Do you think it's too early in the year to do a Christmas-themed basket? I'm in love with some of the sets in the new holiday mini and want to use them, but am afraid that no one will be ready for Christmas items yet.

I'm planning to do a note cube, note cards, pen and candle (and the GC, too).

Thanks for letting me know what you think!

Maybe fall would be better because what if someone who doesn't celebrate Christmas wins it.

I don't think it's too early for Christmas stuff. I think whatever you do will be great. Anyone would be delighted to receive some of your creations, cuz you do such an awesome job.

I think it's a great idea. If someone doesn't celebrate Christmas, they can always give it to someone who does.

A Christmas basket sounds like a very cute idea, I say go for it.

[WAXYO]

Thanks for the advice! I think I'll do it!

I say go for the christmas basket also.

I say go for the Christmas basket as well. If you are going to make Christmas cards, tags, etc. you need to start early!

I got it done!

Here are some pics from my gallery:

Wow, that looks great. Whoever wins it will surely love it! And even if they didn't celebrate Christmas, it is perfectly appropriate!

Thanks! I hope it brings in the bucks! Side note - I didn't make any reference to Christmas on anything...referred to all of the elements in my description page to give to the coordinator as "holiday" items. I'm glad I didn't go stamping "Merry Christmas" on everything!

thanks again!
