Happy Holidays Fam! Welcome or Welcome back to the blog.
Hello, my friends …it’s Evergreen Frostypants here with another post. (Ok you gotta get your Elf name from the sidebar graphic…LOL) I hope you are doing well, and not stressing this season. Please take care of your body and mind, and don’t forget to in with friends and family this season.
I’m so proud of myself for ticking more things off my list. It’s not an overwhelming amount of things, but with work and or family commitments it’s been a balancing act trying to get things done on the home front and prepping for the holiday. Stack with things that I want to do, and it seems like I’ve bitten off more than I can chew. I am making some notes on ways I can make my holiday easier next year, and my Holiday Tasks list is helping out a lot.
You can download all the printables I’ve created this season here. My December calendars are available, as is the task list below and a Holiday Gift List Printable.
I have moved some things around as time wouldn’t allow for everything. And hey, if I don’t get around to it, I just have to be ok with that. Moving this along, this past Sunday was so productive for me. I was able to sleep in (until 10 am), take my time getting ready, eat a good breakfast, and hit the ground running (so to speak).
- I finished 2 DIYs
- Made more ornaments in a black distressed color (I’ve linked my DIY source below)
- stocking name tags ..made with Scrabble name tiles, craft paper, and ribbon
- Made my Chili for our staff potluck (and made Sunday dinner)
- I prepped and baked Molassas cookies and froze the other half for fresh cookies anytime we want
What I didn’t get around to was making some dried orange slices, but there’s always the weekday.
