House & Holidays Plan

[Gingerbug]

Just a reminder that CEO updated and renamed her plan House & Holiday Plan so I renamed this forum. Also if you don't know she has a Facebook page for the plan and it's a great way to get reminders and keep up with all the stuff once the plan starts:

Thanks for the info. My notebook is ready, and I liked the Facebook page. Paper clutter is the hardest area for me, so I'm getting a jump on this section.

I love the new name. I can't wait to get started this year.

Glad for the reminder, is there also a facebook page or group page for the Magical Holiday Home? I seemed to recall something like that, but then my memory isn't what it used to be.

Thanks! And I just went through and read last year's Houseworks posts to see how I was pacing. I'm in better shape this year. Much of the home improvement headaches I was working on back then are now all done! Yay!! But there is still much to do, so I better take my own advice to myself from last year and get started earlier!

I am trying this system this year. The other plan just didn't quite work for me. Hoping this one is better. I am somewhat organized... my notebook is done and now to make everyone's work list (going to put Kiddo and Hubby to work).

Good for you Carrie!!

I get my kids involved in the Christmas prep every year and it really makes a difference. It is good that they see what all is involved in making our holiday as wonderful as it is.

I have had a notebook for years and have really never used it to the full advantage. Some notes in it and pages printed but...... It is nice too-plastic page covers, colorful dividers etc.....


I just went and printed SEVERAL pages off. This year I am planning to put it to good use.

I sort of blend the 2 plans...hoping to stick to them a little closer this year. I couldn't do it without all of you!!!

Glad to know wer'e all getting ready. I need friends to help me through this. I got an unexpected day off work and cleaned out my pantry. WHY did it take so long???

Ditto -- I sent a request also!

Okay, it is official. I must be BLIND. Where is the start-date posted? I'm not seeing it on this thread nor on Facebook. Yup. Blind. It's there isn't it. Am thinking it usually starts the last week of August, right? (And we are posting here, not on Facebook, right?)

Read Facebook and it said the reason for the name change is because the book is going out of print? A new version will not be coming out?

Also wondering if the name change on these boards will confuse some folks. Might it be worth posting it in parenthesis as "(formerly Houseworks)". Just a though. It will probably be fine.

The House and Holidays plan beings Sunday, September 1st - one week from today.

I am not on Facebook, so I will be posting here.

I am looking forward to reading about everyone's progress!!

I am starting a week early. Just making lists and looking for gift ideas. If I don't start early I am afraid I will end up behind.

Happy2beme -- Thanks for the start date! And glad to hear we are posting here!

Cmerth - I know!! We haven't even started yet and I'm already worried I'm behind!
