CIJ - Day 2
- Thread starter SparkleNana
- Start date
Happy Day Two of Christmas in July!
So far.... I have been taking lots of breaks during the day.... to read various CIJ threads... and BLOGS! And sometimes.... blogs lead you to other blogs! Quite delightful!
Also.... I decided to do some decorating for CIJ! I have oner of those black metal, three basket tier-things.... this one has a small black metal star on top. Sp.... I brought it into the office-guest room.... to fill with Christmassy-things. Yesterday.... only ONE thing made it into one of the baskets. However.... it is one of the adorable birds that I bought at a 75% off after-Christmas-sale this year. They are so pretty! Over time.... I'll get around to adding more of them to that basket.
For our July Decluttering Club..... I am working in the office/guest room. So..... that is the place I will decorate!
Today.... there is a family birthday brunch. Family party for dgs age 10!!!!!!! After that.... I hope for lots of CIJ pleasure! (And also lots of decluttering-for-Christmas 2011.)

Good morning, SparkleNana! I really need to join the Decluttering Club, my basement needs a lot of attention. It's going to be hot today so I'll be basking in thoughts of snow-covered landscapes while I work on my Felt Mistletoe Ornament and enjoy Christmas in July (the movie) with Dick Powell. I know what you mean about blog-reading leading to another blog and another and another. I have added so many to my Google Reader and this morning, up popped a whole host of CIJ posts with great ideas for yummy food and neat crafts and decorating ideas. Have a wonderful CIJ - Day 2!
I've posted my full list over on the CiJ to do list thread.
Today I plan on watching a Christmas movie - probably bad santa.
I'll work a little on my Christmas budget. It needs tweaked. I have another person to add and two people to take off. So it'll need adjusted.
I'd also like to search around for some 12 days of Christmas ideas. I want to do this this year with my mother.

Everyone has some great plans for today. Enjoy the first CIJ weekend. Do try the frozen hot chocolate.
I got some window valences today that are in a retro fabric and I want to go to the store and find ribbom and some kind of trim so I can try to turn them into aprons.
SN - thanks for starting the thread - had company today so I'm getting on here late.

Well I've adjusted my budget and watched bad santa.
I think I'll put the old animated How The Grinch Stole Christmas next.
I wanted to try the ****tail on Pamela's blog but I don't have any of the drinks needed so I've just poured myself a little of my favourite tipple. Cheers!

Hehe. Cheers right back, Lucie!
I just love How the Grinch Stole Christmas and I'm glad I chose to watch that movie.
I'm now working on my Christmas notebook. I know this is going to be a work in progress and will take me quite a while. I only work on it for blocks of 30mins to an hour so it's little by little but I'm sure by the end of the month I'll have all my papers filed away and my notebook up to date again.
I've updated my blog.

We plan on watching, "Deck the Halls, with treats of course. We've also been copying recipes we'd like to try to notepad. The recipes our from a free cookbook that I picked up for my Nook. I've also been looking at some blogs. As well as updating my blog with a new CIJ post.
I spent my day vintage shopping. Something I seem to be doing alot lately. But I found some great cards I'm going to turn into framed art for Christmas.
And speaking of valences, I found some tea towels I'm going to make into a valence over my kitchen window. I bought those today as well.
