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.
Thanks for taking an interest in my blog. The sites were just linked to words.
