What Did You Accomplish Today in Preparation for Christmas? Only 59 more days!
Okay everyone, I have a TON of things to do before Cbristmas Day.....so starting today, I am going to record what I actually did that I needed to finish for the holidays.
It could be picking up a gift, working on a homemade craft, addressing Christmas cards, baking.....you get the idea.
Who cares to join me? I am hoping this thread will help me cross things off my long list.
Today - I made homemade magnets for my two nephews to go in their stockings.
P.S. - if this is in the wrong spot and should be in the challenges section could someone please move it for me? I wasn't sure where it should go.

Since you asked I......
cleared off the DR table to be used as Christmas central
took stock of how many mini potholder sets I need tags for (20)
made two more ornaments for exchange
sewed the ends in on 5 dishtowels
Love this idea Debbie - all these little details will make me think that I am getting sooooo much done!!Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

It really does make a difference to list what has been accomplished during the day!!

Oh, I am so in, I have to do something every night or else I will be up late sewing on Christmas eve like last year! I am making 3 or 4 wallhangings for gifts. They are going to be embroidered squares, then sashing and borders, that's it, fairly simple. So last night, I got all of the fabric around for one, cut out the squares to be embroidered and I even managed to get one square on the embroidery machine and done. I want to get at least 1 if not 2 done tonight, they take about 45 minutes each to sew out. One can always hope!
Great thread Deb, thanks!~Kim~

Edited the photos for one of my Photo Block projects (Monday)
Took inventory of our gift box in the closet and created a master gift list (Sunday)
I love the idea of this thread!
