christmas | half way there

Yesterday was 6 months until Christmas 2011. Today is 182 sleeps (half of 364, which isn't quite 365, but we can't count 182.5 sleeps) until Christmas.

I've put together my Christmas binder for this year. I've used Christmas Wishes & Whimsy, which was free with purchase from Jessica Sprague last November, to create dividers, and used the printables from Life...Your Way.




I'm thinking about card designs.


and thinking about interesting things


and interesting wrapping ideas


and fun gift ideas

But most of all, I'm wondering if you want to have some Christmas fun with me? From September 16th I want to run a "100 days until Christmas" blog series, and I need guest posts. I'm looking for posts about anything - family traditions, cleaning house, shopping, ideas for photos to take, craft ideas, gift ideas, the history of a holiday, handmade Christmas, layout ideas, journaling ideas, menu ideas, celebrations around the world, celebrations unique to your part of the world, baking ideas, anything and everything to do with the holiday season for you. You can write a weekly series, or share about different topics, anything your heart desires.

Email your idea{s} by July 10th to purplecrazymum{at}gmail.com with "100 days to Christmas" in the subject line, please, and I'll be in touch.

  2. WTG Cate!!!
    I got my christmas planner together a couple of weeks ago so I could get myself organised.
    I'm trying to do a handmade christmas (well mostly) this year so needed to get ready as early as possible.
    I;m also doing an activity advent this year too so tryingto get sorted for that

  7. Gosh, a bit keen, aren't you? You're certainly making an early start this year... I try to avoid Christmas until much nearer the time.
    However, I have sent you an e-mail with an idea - since you are obviously working hard at this already (puts me to shame...)!
    :-)
