CiJ plans

[ChristmasPir8]

Well, it's here, well at least tomorrow it's officially Chirstmas in July.
Do you have anything fun planned? Special crafts or things you want to do?
Do you know of any channels that will be participating in CiJ? I know in the past some of the movie channels like Lifetime and Hallmark will show Christms movies and QVC (or HSN) have specails as well.

I have no idea what mine are b/c I have no idea what kind of flexabilites I'll have this month but will try some stuff.

I'm hoping to do some Christmas stuff. That's not too specific. LOL. Today, we went to "Little Nashville" and visited all the shops including one Christmas store. Took a pic of the upside down Christmas tree they had but I can't get it to upload from my iPod.

I think I'll work on scrapping some tags to go on gifts,
I'm almost done with Amanda's afghan, Now I will start little Jerry's afghan they go pretty quick.
I made 3 of the cutest bags I designed them my self (bragging).
I made a red white and blue one for the forth of July.
Now I need to make one for Christmas and Fall.
I will wrap them but wait till Christmas to add ribbon
and doo dads I don't want them to get banged up.
I'm thinking about crocheting some fridgies to put on the packages.

Plan on watching QVC and HSN CIJ specials and some Christmas movies on TV. I might pick up a turkey breast and make a small dinner along with some home made pies and cookies. At the end of the month we are going to the shore so I may pick up some gifts while we are there.

During this month I will continue to work as much as I can on crafting gifts for Christmas! I've hit a bit of a lull lately and need to bounce back!

I am also giving myself "permission" to listen to Christmas music while I craft. I personally have gotten myself burned out on carols by the time December rolls around because I've been listening to them since June. lol So I try not to overdo it this early in the year. But CIJ is an exception!!!

I have started working on tags for gifts, which is fun.

I plan to take the 25th off work and really focus on projects. Will try very hard to be caught up on cleaning/housework/shopping so I don't shift focus.

My goal is to collect supplies as needed between now and then - assembling into kits where possible - so as to get the most out of my time.

I'll play Christmas movies or music in the background while I work too! Or QVC
