Lets Get Organised for Christmas!

This week the challenge over at the Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge Blog is "Anything Goes". We would love for you to join in with this challenge (make sure you use a Tickled Pink Stamps image please) and be in the running to win a great prize!

For the last 3 years I have made a Christmas booklet that stores all my Christmas information such as my Christmas Card list, gift list, November and December Calendars, Christmas day plans, Christmas letter etc. I really prefer to make this by the end of October and it helps me organise myself for this wonderful time of the year.

I normally keep embellishments to a minimum because I prefer to have this booklet sitting flat and compact (I like to carry it with me everywhere while I'm shopping for gifts or doing other Christmas planning) but this one is a bit thicker - personal preference really.
