Magical Holiday Home

Happy February Rudoloh Day. What will you be inspired to do today? February’s focus is on crafts so perhaps you will tidy up your tear files and make some lists about materials you need to make certain porjects.

Or maybe you will spend the evening watching a Christmas movie like, Beethoven’s Christmas Adventure.

Or listen to Christmas music at work just to drive your co workers crazy?

 Whatever you choose to do: Happy Rudolph Day!!

 Can’t believe it is February 1st already! This is crafty kits month. Time to organize those craft materials so you can actually make something with them. Although this is primarily about setting up craft kits I am also going to use the month to make a list of what I can realistically make this year. I always seem to think WAY bigger than I can actually accomplish.

Last year I made labels for 12 crafts and stored them in manila envelops. There are a variety of ways to organize your projects and only you can pick the one that works best for you. Plastic tubs, ziploc bags, lunch boxes.

Great Pumpkin Day gets it’s name from Charlie Brown. It has developed into a year round Halloween prep day with fun movies and crafts on the last day of each month.  Each month has a different focus and for January the focus is the Halloween Notebook.

If you do not have a Halloween Notebook set up, please check out my post over at Cranberry and Company.  The post there shows each of the sections I include in mine.

 In addition to the notebook set up I’m also jotting down ideas for each of the upcoming Great Pumpkin Days. there’s always fun to be had while preparing for a SPOOKTACULAR Halloween.

This year for Rudolph Day, I will be sharing what I do each month on that Rudolph Day.  By posting about my actual “day” I hope to get a bit more accomplished and also give you some simple ideas of things you might want to try on Rudolph Day. Some months the Rudolph Day topic will be related to the monthly topic (for example January is Notebook Month) and some months I will go off in a different direction.

  Here’s my January List:

  Host a There’s Snowflake Like You dinner party for some friends. I’ll share pictures this coming Theme Thursday at Rudolph Ramblings.

             Clean out my notebook. (Honestly this was mostly done but I did at least flip through it and add fresh pages).

If you would like to see all of the sections of my notebook please check out the Rudolph Day post over at Rudolph Ramblings.

I invite you to join me each Rudolph Day and share what you do. You can post a comment letting us know and feel free to add a link to your blog if you post about Rudolph day there!

January is Notebook Month! 

This year I want to tweak our monthly goals and plans a little, perhaps even simplifying them a bit!  January is a good month for cleaning out your Christmas Notebook, updating addresses off of Christmas cards and reflecting on what worked and what didn’t work. Our months are set up so you have all of January to do this.

January Rudolph Day

Rudolph Day can be used as a special reminder date to accomplish the monthly task (this month update your notebook) or it can be viewed as a totally different Christmas prep/fun focus. This year I want to share with you what I actually do on Rudolph Day each month. I’m hoping it will keep me a bit more accountable, as well as, give you some ideas.  So I will sometimes go with the monthly theme and sometimes throw in a completely different focus.
