Time for a Christmas Countdown at the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!

We have a "SWEET" sponsor, Sweet Stamp Shop, for the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Christmas Countdown challenge! The LEAD of this challenge will receive a $15 gift certificate to use at the Sweet Stamp Shop store!
Today is December the first and the first day of the countdown to Christmas. My project today is my holiday planner, for the next 25 days everything I do or need to do will go in to this book which is for my eyes only. Dates, events, recipes, shopping lists, Christmas wish lists that go in the inside pocket as well as what is purchased, checklists you name it. My family knows this and I leave it on the kitchen table and no one looks inside--well trained I think. After Christmas my daughter always wants to see inside the secret book. Tradition, I make a new one every year.
How do you track the chaos at Christmas?
Check out how the Curtain Call Crew is counting down until Christmas!

ReplyDeletewow this is amazing and i love the paper you used.. don't you just love Christmas..
ReplyDeleteawesome project, Tracey! i want one! lol!
ReplyDeleteThis is a FABULOUS idea Tracey!!!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea Tracey and love the use of the sentiment. I haven't used that on yet as have been unsure what to do with it but perhaps and big card is the way to go. Hope you are well and don't get too exhausted with the Xmas chaos x
ReplyDeleteLove that paper and what a great idea to make your own notepad for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteTracey I love this idea! I think I will make one too! Yours is lovely! Thanks for the inspiration! :)
ReplyDeleteTotally love this project Tracey! Gorgeous, fun and useful all at the same time. Happy December! XO
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little notepad. Love the festive paper and the traditional colors. The words are perfect Tracey. :)
ReplyDeleteThis never would have worked for me but it's a cute idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea, Tracey ... such fun colours and sentiments! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteTracey, you must be super organised! What a great idea and I love the look of it. I'm so impressed that your family are that well trained. My 2 boys would be drawing pictures all over it!
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought that Santa notebook from the other day was cute...this one is even better (if that is possible). Love that you have your family so well trained, mine would be opened immediately and new suggestions penciled in next to mine.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day
