Merry Christmas!!!!

Yes, I do know that it's January.  Have you ever thought while you were putting away the Christmas tree and decorations, that  you wished you'd had time to do that "one thing" that you wanted to try?  Well, I have.  Every. Single. Year.  I've decided that this year will be different.....I will not look back thinking of all of the Christmas crafts, recipes, and decorations that I wanted to make but never had the time to during the holiday season!  A couple of days ago I was looking over my December issue of Southern Living and realized that I never had the time to open the cover (much less read the entire magazine) during the month preceeding Christmas.

So this coming week I will be gathering all of my December issues of Southern Living, Better Homes and Gardens, Gooseberry Patch Christmas books, and other random "Christmas" issues of various magazines (that have NEVER been thrown out because of that 1 craft, recipe, or decoration that I wanted to make and creating a file of what I plan to do each month of THIS year to prepare for the 2011Christmas Season.

Oh, and there's that rather large tote in the attic full of Christmas crafts and supplies for homemade ornaments....
