Say “I” if you want to get more organized this year. I know I do E-V-E-R-Y year. I get all pumped up and start making a list of things I would like to get done, but somehow things just fall through the cracks. I would blame the dog for chewing up my lists, but I don’t actually have a dog. So long story short, I never quite had a year that I finished all the things I wanted to do.
This year is going to be different. R-E-A-L different. In October I started searching for the perfect Christmas Holiday Planner . I found many but as I spent an hour here and an hour there, I realized time is better spent if I make my own planner that would check off all the things that I want. The key to a good holiday planner is that it HAS TO BE REUSABLE next year. Once I put in all the information in a planner, I definitely want to reuse that information the year after that especially the budget, gift list, decoration inventory, etc.
After 2 weeks of serious research, list making, drawing and editing, I have created Juju Sprinkles’ Ultimate Holiday Planner! I am proud to say, it has everything that I need and want. It even includes a Santa’s Letter template and Secret Santa Questionnaire! This Ultimate Holiday Planner has a total of 33 pages! It is organized into 6 categories with color coded banners to keep things organized. Here’s my new Holiday Planner
