A quieter week here. I have added an appointment but have had a dinner for Thursday night and a haircut for Friday cancelled. It means that I can get a bit more cleaning/organising/crafting done on Friday so that is a good thing.

This week I'm back to my typical schedule which means that I've been getting lots done Monday through Wednesday. I'm getting addicted to list making. Seeing a difference in what I'm doing with these weekly list making sessions (post HGP/HHP) is inspiring me to keep an on going list for things that are important to me.

I'm doing something like a bullet journal in my planner. In the back, I have three pages that say Notes. I divided half a page into three columns: Holiday Spruce Up, HHP prep list and Gifts. I'm keeping a running list of ideas. I have also updated my Christmas Notebook spreadsheet so I can access it if I'm out shopping and want to refer to it.

I agree with the whole list thing. I can be sitting at work and think of something that I need to tidy or declutter, and jot it down. I have quite the list going in the planner. I am excited to get things done and I cannot remember the last time I was this keen to get in and get it done.

I think I will clean out the work desk in the office and get rid of stuff. and also the 3 craft drawers this weekend

Lucie, great goals. I am still doing a lot of decluttering. No great schedule in mind just what I feel like doing. Today is the pantry and fridge, tomorrow more drawers in bedroom.

I decluttered two 5 inch notebooks of recipes I have not tried. No reason to keep them since I keep seeing new ones. lol

Diedra. When it comes to recipes I have not quite decided what to do. I like the idea of a traditional recipe book that I can write things in and hand it down.
But, then I think it might be easier to create a computer recipe folder with sub sections and just save things to that so that I am physically not storing heaps of papers.

Ah, there is nothing like a book that doesn't crash.

I've done written out recipes, typed out recipes and printed them and also stored them on the computer. I like to make sure that favorite recipes are handwritten. There is nothing like seeing my grandmother's handwriting on her Cranberry Jello Mold that she liked to serve at Thanksgiving. I want my children and grandchildren to have that same feeling of connection with the handwriting too.

Mary, I agree, I have some recipes hand written by my mum and my nanna and I think that my kids and grandkids will cherish those. The reason I am wondering is because my current recipe book is a mess and I have on my to do list for this Winter to start a new one. Keen to do this project for the sentimental value but wondering if I also do a computer version for ease. Will need to ponder more.
