Just over 6 weeks to Christmas - the last few weeks have just slipped by, but six weeks starts to feel very real!

Christmas Accomplishments
  • gift list made - several gifts purchased
  • holiday budget tweaked
  • purchased replacement Christmas tree lights (that we unfortunately did need) LOL
  • purchased gift cards & World Vision gifts on Christmas list
  • moved Trigger downstairs
  • work on Christmas card list - finally (though it will probably still have some tweaks!)
  • tree up - burnt out lights replaced
  • gather Christmas craft supplies - partial
  • transfer Christmas Club $$ into Savings Account so that it doesn't get mixed into regular spending
  • get recipe for Fruit Cake cookies from MaMa
  • check wrapping supplies
  • design Christmas tee for W & A - both planned - now I just need to start sewing!
Christmas Goals 11/10-11/16
  • gather Christmas craft supplies - still need to hit a few more places
  • pick up additional wrapping supplies (tissue paper, ribbon)
  • keep an eye on Craig's List for one possible present - still looking!
  • make major progress on Christmas dish towels
  • sew W & A Christmas tees
Thinking Forward
  • Christmas card pic
  • Christmas stamps
  • think through decorations
  • think through Christmas "schedule"
Hope your Christmas plan is coming together nicely! I'd love to hear about it!
