Christmas stress!

So, those of you who know me well, know that I LOVE Christmas! I hate to be stressed around the holiday so I try to buy things throughout the year when they are on sale.

On top of that, every year I do some homemade gifts too. I like to know my plans for Christmas gifting by March. Then I just start buying supplies and whatever I need while I am buying all the non-homemade stuff.

For me, Planning = no stress around the holidays. Who would like to guess how that worked out for me and my procrastinating bum this year?

Let me put it to you like this...

I have 5 sewing projects, 5 craft projects, 2 scrapbooking things and 6 canning.

Things completed...

2 sewing projects.
6 canning

In my defense I am very close to finishing the 5 craft projects and I have just started the scrapbooking stuff.

Next year's goal: Give my self a month per homemade project to complete it! And stop picking so many long projects! Seriously, what was I thinking?!

Hmmm? Whats that you say?......Oh, set a goal, and then actually reach it. Intriguing concept!


Childish rant over, you may now return to your daily activities.
