Did anyone notice it's November 24 today?
That basically means that if it ain't done one month from today, it's not going to happen.
Do you need to lie down?
I (Dawn) have to admit, I'm off the hook this year as we're heading to Thailand for Christmas. Being gone for 25 days over the holidays kinda give me a pass on decorating, shopping, and a whole bunch of holiday hullabaloo! (I'll try to get in a little hullabaloo before we leave in 3 weeks!)
For those of you who are not fleeing the country and are looking forward to enjoying a white Christmas with friends and family, you know the mixed bag of the month ahead. Lots of great memories are about to be made, along with a nice thick layer of business, expense, expectation and chaos.
If you're looking for ways to keep things as simple as possible so that you can put more energy into the things that really matter, we're cheering for you!
This Saturday, Cheryl and I will be doing a little feature for the women of Trinity Baptist Church at their Women's Christmas Event! We'll post the ideas we share there in a couple of days and hope you find them practical and helpful.
As for today...
How's that Christmas card list coming?
We know a lot of our friends and blog readers like to make their own cards, which is a really special way to let the people in your lives know how much they mean to you. Just please learn from my mistake last year... I made my cards a little "too special" (read THICK) and had the privilege of spending several dollars on EACH card just to mail them!
Plan well, crafters, plan well.
Homemade or store bought, if you plan to send cards, there is no time like the present.
1) Make a list
2) Check it twice. As you look at the names, ask yourself who would really appreciate a card in the mail, and who would be just as happy with an e-mail update?
3) Aaaannnndddd.... GO! No procrastinating, just get it done before all the hullabaloo begins for you :-)
