Christmas Mantel Tour – Day 2

This is the year that I plan for Christmas. Like REALLY plan. Every. Last. Detail.

I’m usually a fly by the seat of my pants girl.

Not this year.

This year my motto is: “If you fail to plan, You plan to fail.”

So today I’m going to be sharing my to-do list for this week.

And don’t forget:

It’s Day 2 of the Christmas Mantel Tour!

Yesterday was just amazing…ideas and inspiration galore!

So while y’all sit back and enjoy these tours…I’ll be getting ready for Christmas.

My To-Do list for the week:

1.  Order Christmas Cards ~ Buy stamps ~ Start working on Christmas address list

2. Start my Christmas Notebook {I get a spiral notebook to keep everything in one place ~ staple an envelope to the front cover to keep receipts in ~ label some pages *Gift List *Menus *Fun Christmas Ideas * Elf Ideas

3. Start Shopping ~ the goal is to be done by December 1.

4.  Buy gift wrap supplies

5. Start “stocking stuffer bags” ~ I keep 3 bags {one for each child} in my closet with their names on them ~ when I find a stocking stuffer for them, I just add it to the bag ~ start shopping for these tiny treasures

6. Buy gift cards

And there is my list for week one of Planning for Christmas!
