Like many of you I want my holiday time to be stress-free and merry. I also want this year's holidays to be less commercial and more handmade: I am planning on making decorations, baking cookies, and surprising my family with handmade gifts. But where to begin? What should I do first?
And then it dawned on me: why not separate all my tasks by letters and concentrate on one letter per day. With 25 days before Christmas I will have my Cookies and Decorations, my Menu and Presents ready on time!
Here is an adapted version of my original schedule: instead of waiting for the first of December I decided to begin a little bit earlier to have enough time for my Advent calendar and to have some free time before the 24th.
Starting on the 27th November I will be posting my favorite tutorials and ideas for the letter of the day. I will also be adding holiday goodness to my PINTEREST BOARDS.
