Six Months














We now have about 6 months until the holidays are upon us.
Every year I say I am going to start early and avoid the December crazies. I think I managed one year.
This year I am going to be organized (see above) and ready when the good deals hit.
Not only do I have my family to shop for but my son's birthday and my nephew's birthday are just before Christmas.
This year I will be on top of it - not sweating it - and this cute organizer is going to help!

Do you want to make one too?

Supplies needed:
File folder
Assorted printed paper that you love
Mod Podge (at least that is what I use)
Ribbon
Stamps
Ink -whatever floats your boat.
Embellishments













I like to start by chopping off the tabs -but you don't have to.
Figure out the papers you will use and ink or paint the exposed edges.















Adhere paper
















Add titles like:
Craft Projects
Christmas Cards
Menu Planning
To-Do List
Gift Ideas
Shopping List
Stocking Stuffers
Receipts

I actually made two of these. One has the first four titles listed and that one stays at home. The other one (the one seen here) has the last four titles and is going to go in my purse to keep with me when I am out and about. Do what works for you.
The lists I copied from this site: clicky
I hope you find it helpful.
