Master Events List January 2008

[Gingerbug]

Master Events List 2008 (will be updated as needed)

arty: WE'RE HAVING A PARTY.....OUR OPEN HOUSE.....


January 1st: Monthly Magic: This will be a monthly plan started on the first of each
month. It is designed to plan the month and allow for holidays, seasonal events,
birthdays etc. Monthly Magic is not a cleaning plan but rather a way to organize and plan for holidays and events. It is primarily an organizing tool and will be unique for each person but with a framework that can be adapted to fit anyone's needs. We will
incorporate Rudolph Day, Great Pumking Day and Turkey Day in our planning.

January 1st: Personal Life Goals: Our monthly thread for goals in different life areas will be
started. Please feel free to post to it.

January 5th-10th: We will hold a Christmas Notebook debriefing here at Holiday Magic

January 10th-January 17th Holiday Magic (forums) & Magical Holiday Home Open House
There will be several surprises and special events during our Open House so be sure and check in frequently.

Thanks, Gingerbug! Your list and ideas are making me ready to start a great new year!

The list sounds GREAT! I can't wait to start out the New Year with you guys. After finding OC in Oct., I really enjoy coming to the sites. I just can't find enough time to keep reading everything and trying to get things done around the house. I did have my library order the The Gift of Christmas to read and I REALLY liked it. Hope you all have a HAPPY SAFE NEW YEAR!

I am so excited about the list for the upcoming year, i am printing it out and putting it on my calendar and in my notebook! i am also so excited to see the energy from OC being carried on here, i have really been in a funk about the OC boards shutting down, but am less so seeing everything here! THANKS so very much!

 

[DahliaDoll]

Hope you're not leaving out Easter in Monthly Magic. Was that just an oversight?

 

[Gingerbug]

Easter will certainly be included with the plan....we will do the Easter Countdown again....I didn't list all the holidays....but we will include something for each (and any others that different people want to put in) that's the FUN of Monthly Magic.... planning for that month's holidays and events.....BUT with EASTER...we need more...hence the six week countdown.

If you haven't looked at it....you can find the printable pages here:

http://www.melindawhitehead.com/EasterC ... tebook.htm

The first ones are notebook covers and divider pages...but if you scroll down you will see the six weekly tasks sheets.

 

[momof9]

What is the date that we will beginning the Easter/Spring countdown? I know I had been planning to start in the first week okf February but if everyone else has a different schedule I kind of want to be on the same page.

 

[jampss]

Oh, wow. Thank you sooooooooooo much for the time you've put in to all of this! It's a blessing!
:rnament:

 

[Gingerbug]

Momof9 because Easter is so early this year...the Easter Coutdown will start

February 10th....that will give us six full weeks leading up to Easter Sunday

 

[momof9]

thank you for your reply gingerbug... that is cutting it a little close for me... I think I will stick to my original plan of starting on the 3rd... Iwill be with you all in spirit though... LOL :razz:

 

[rockin_granola]

I am so excited about the list for the upcoming year, i am printing it out and putting it on my calendar and in my notebook!

:idea: Oh, good idea! I have little cardstock divider sheets in my notebook for each month and I think I'll print out this list and stick it on the back of January.

 

[Gingerbug]

momof9....you will just be a week ahead of us...maybe you can still jump in and give us some pointers!!! :idea:

 

[cipalla]
