Christmas 2018 and Beyond was a group I started on Facebook back in December of 2017. Some of us had been busily crocheting snowflakes each week, and I wanted the fun to continue – but I wanted more than just snowflakes. I wanted to create a place where any hand crafted Christmas items could have a home.
To that end, I began collecting links, and posting them. At first, I published them in files but it was really a lot of work to try and get photos on to the documents, and really, who wants links without photos? So I created a database in google docs, (which is still a fair amount of work, as you have to actually save each image and then upload it) but I was happy to do it – until I realized, pretty much no one was using it.
And thus, I am trying a blog. I’m not sure this will be any better, but we are going to give it a try, and see if people don’t find it easier to use than our previous experiments. One more month to the new year; it seems a perfect time to try.
