Michelle - I make lists of all I want to get done before Christmas in each category, then I have to find a place for each of the items in my calendar so I know what has to be then when to get to a stress-free (maybe more of a stress-less) Christmas.
Good morning Ladies to all of you on this 6th of Aug. I too am getting ready for the HGP. I just revised my list for this year 2011. I printed out the calendar for the plan & arranged it to my special needs. During the week I also typed up my to do list for Christmas, it's 3 pgs. long, everything from buying christmas stamps in Oct. when thy come out toputting chairs around the table. It's good to be organized. Can't wait for a bus trip that's coming up, to the King of Prussia shopping Mall in Pa. in oct. what a Shopping mall that is!!!!!!Any store you want or need is there. Only Macy's is at one end of the mall, & sears is at the other end, a lot of walking. But we get there around 12:00P.M. AND STAY TILL 8:30 p.m. & also they have a mini bus that takes you around to the other part of the mall. We ate at the Cheesecake Factory for lunch when we first got there, delecious food. There's a Kitchen store there and I found 4 butter knives, which I was looking for last year, so happy. I highly recommend it, if you can get there. Will do whatever Christmas stuff I can, already looking at Christmas books, the latest ones coming out, I like to read at least one to put me in the Christmas Spirit. Have a good day Ladies!
candysprinkles, that's a great idea about bread dough. Now I just need to learn how to make bread. It is something I am really keen on getting to grips with.
