Loving Every Minute of it.

OK Smart Women full of ideas :)

I am compiling a Christmas book, filled with christmas stories for each day of December, activities that are kid and family friendly, Family Home evening Ideas, recipes and anything else that inspires one in holiday festivities and the spirit of Christmas. I thought that you would have some good ideas or stories and wanted to see if you wanted to submit your story or idea or perfect recipe idea. :) I started off with some great ideas last weekend at the christmas social at church and am very excited to add to it. Growing up my mom had a book that had a story, craft, treat and poem or song for every day of december...it was a highlight of our childhood holidays, getting the book out and making copies for fun crafts and activities. This was something that brought our family closer together and helped bring the spirit of christmas into our home. ( But I've done all of those 20X each :) So I'm calling All ideas Again!!

When the stories are all submitted I will put them together in PDF format so that you can easily print in color or black & white on your own printer or send the file to kinkos/staples and start or add to a book of your own.

Please scan in any art or craft projects and type the stories so that I can easily import them *first quality* and not have photo copy marks. :)

You will get a copy of the PDF if you would like and I won't mind if you pass it along to others you know who might benefit. If you plan on contributing e-mail me ASAP.

I would like to get this done by Nov 27th so we are all good to go for December 1st. It will only take 20 minutes now and you will have a treasure your family will enjoy for years to come!!

I'll take some photos of the book I have started making and post it here after thanksgiving. It's fun with folders to put lists, dividers to write your card sending list (and keep it for the upcoming years) a place to write gifts recieved and of course a place to write all the things that you would like to do differently in the years to come...some not to forget and some to never do again!! So every thanksgiving you will pull out the book filled with memories and tips! I'm al about making life easier and more enjoyable!!
