with just over 6 weeks to go and a couple of presents bought or ordered….it’s time to break out the Christmas planner.
When I was getting the planner out the Anthea Turner “The Perfect Christmas” fell out and almost hit me on the head :-). Totally forgot I had that book so I look forward to reading through it again.
I also discovered I hadn’t yet shared my Christmas note book with you so I decided to make a video. As you’ll see I had a bit of fun trying to work out how to show it to you – with everything being reversed in the camera :-).
Here are the resources I mentioned in the video.

I Love this folder Libby.
I don’t know why I haven’t thought of doing something like this myself. I have my Xmas craft all in one place and then my recipes in another cupboard, I can’t believe it never occurred to me to combine everything.
Also, I made a Xmas gift list in October and then when I went to go Xmas shopping last week I couldn’t find it – so frustrating.
I’m definitely making one of these today.
Great notebook, Libby 🙂
I actually downsized and now, instead of having a separate christmas notebook, I have a section in my day planner for it. It’s working well (so far). If I’m waiting somewhere for the kids, I can easily jot down ideas or whatever because I always have my day planner with me.
Thanks for the link to the FlyLady Christmas journal. I didn’t know she had one!
Great video! I really need to do something like this. Every year I think about it and it doesn’t get done. Maybe this year!
oooh thanks for sharing this!!! I am feeling pretty oragnised this year I must say. Although I am sure all of that will go out the window once we start our house move and my stress levels increase!!
Just wanted to let you know I made a folder today. I hope you don’t mind if I write a post about it – giving full credit to you of course.
Oooh I love nothing more than to create a good Christmas list and check it twice !!

Very useful post Libby! I will be making myself one of those notebooks…For sure! I have my recipes all written down on scraps of paper and I am forever losing them. Great way to keep me organised…Thankyou for sharing! x
