June 2010: Christmas Notebook Workshop

[Gingerbug]

I thought since we are gearing up for Christmas in July, it might be fun to spend the month of June working on our Christmas Notebooks.....no matter how big or how small your notebook is...let's get it in order....AND YES.....I know some of you did this right after Christmas....but it seems we have quite a few new members and a good notebook discussion might be helpful!

Week of May 30-June 5: Discussion of possible sections, pros and cons, ideas for what works.

Week of June 6-12: Calendars and Cards: Print calendars, set dates, Update Card lists and addresses etc

Week of June 13-19: Stocking Stuffer Lists and Gift Lists (update or organize these) Maybe even finish up stocking stuffers.

Week of June 20-26: Party Plans, Baking and Candy lists, etc

June 27-July 3: (I'll be in Cozumel this week...but) This will be a general wrap up week...other sections and items that you may want to include such as Magic Elves or Movie Inventory etc.

I'm in too. On my blog I put my Christmas notebook which I covered with felt & a design of a hot chocolate cup.

I was just looking through my Christmas notebook this morning before work promising myself I would overhaul it in the coming weeks. So I will definitely be following this one!

 

[Colleen in PA]

Count me in...I need to pare it down a bit. My NB is getting too cumbersome so I find I'm not using it as much as I should!

 

[ChristmasPir8]

count me in. My first one was small but not very useful so last yr I went to a 3 ring binder but could use some help/ideas in making it even more useful

 

[Gingerbug]

If you want to do a little pre-workshop prep....especially if you do not currently have a notebook

1. Buy binder and dividers

2. Print Calendars for Sept-Dec.

3. Print some address sheets....(either from organizedchristmas.com or there are others available online) Because the week of June 6th we will update addresses.

 

[Gingerbug]

And if by chance you are in need of notebook cover sheets or divider pages....don't forget the free printable ones....

Count me in. I did set up a notebook last year and love it, but that was before I joined this site and have so much to learn. I'm Excited.

 

[Mackiesmudder]

I'm in too and I can't wait! I made a notebook for my DD for this year but didn't make one for myself. I also didn't really know how to do it, so I can't wait to get some terrific ideas!

I'm going to work along with you all too. I especially need to update my address list and I have all the addresses left over from my wedding invitations so that is helpful. I'm looking forward to working on it together!

Like to reprocess all that topics. Will rework and print my adresslist. Thanks for reminding me, Ginger.
