Inspired by Pinterest, I decided to make myself a little Christmas Planner/Organiser.
I'm a list kind of girl ordinarily, so this is an expansion on the list on a scrap of paper I might usually have in my handbag! It's a fair bit prettier than the scrap of paper. And it's not too big to manage - 4" x 6 12/" when it's folded up.
Using a sheet of chocolate cardstock I had on hand, I added papers from the Kaisercraft 6 1/2" Paper Pad. With it's gorgeous vintage reds, greens and creams (and I love the name "Twig & Berry"), it all came together pretty well. I can slip my lists - Cards, Decorating, Gifts & Food - into the pockets and carry it with me to make notes when inspiration strikes!!! With the stitched on button and twine to wrap around for a closure, it's easy to use.
Now all I have to do is make those lists . . . and plan the gifts . . . and write the cards . . . and . . .
Is it too soon to be planning for Christmas?
Paper: Kaisercraft "Twig & Berry"
Twine: Maya Road TC2137 "Watermelon"

Great start. We made small gifts yesterday at quilting for the Christmas Lunch. I'm a write it on the calander person if it's not there it takes second place. Your orginiser is much prettier.
That is a really cool and practical idea-love it!
