It's 5 months before Christmas...

Christmas tags
     If you missed the Christmas in July blog hop, you owe it to yourself to go to the beginning on 7/22 and start there...  You will have 4 full days with 13 girls sharing Christmas related projects and gifts with you!  There are Christmas cards, layouts, gifts to make...the whole bit!!!  The ideas can be tweaked to what YOU need them to look like...the recipe tin can be made for tons of different purposes...not only a fun Christmas gift, but also a shower gift, a wedding gift, a birthday gift...etc!  In fact this whole month there have been a lot of Christmas related ideas that has been shared with you!   
     Christmas is 5 months away, so start to plan what you need to do...  Your challenge for the month is to start to get everything planning and in one place for planning.  In other words, grab a notebook (composition notebooks are awesome to redo into something else...pick out fun Christmas paper to alter it) and start to plan what you need for cooking, to make gifts, to purchase gifts, cards you need to send out, and maybe even decorating information.  This way everything you need to plan is in one area instead of all over the place.  
     One tip I had found that I thought was really awesome, was to start to look at your cooking and baking items that you need to do, gather your recipe's and figure out what you will need to purchase for your baking.  Start to pick up just a few things each payday - that way you are not spending a ton of money come closer to Christmas...put yourself on a small budget now in order to get everything done that you want to! 
     With the economy the way it is, people out of work, etc., make a few things this year... Not only is it a great stress reliever, it is also cost effective to make things too.  I hope you have enjoyed this Christmas in July month...
