♥♥ MSE Organised For Christmas 2009 ♥♥

greent

Hello all!

Can I join in, please I'm a mum of 3, with a 4th due in 7 days (eek!) and do aromatherapy massage and make some toiletries (soaps, bombs, body butters, bath melts etc) - so Xmas gifts often have these in

I like Xmas and have to be organised as DD's birthday is 2 weeks before and DS2's birthday is the 6th Jan. Funnily enough I sorted my Xmas wrap/ cards etc yesterday. I have some gifts for re-gifting, too and will go through what stuff I have stashed and see who I can give it to for Xmas or remaining birthdays in the year. Then I can see what I have left to achieve

Would love it all done by beginning of Dec (is that too much to ask for?!)

Mel, what gorgeous photos - I loved all of them and the ones of your children as cards and the bauble are fantastic and I love your 2008 album. Is that just for your photos or for your organising ideas?

Thanks Mary I hope to get a lot more done this year.. hampered myself out in 07 so least year I was a bit craft lethargic but this year I am raging to go. My kids will be almost 4 and 5 too which is such a brilliant age for Christmas EEK!! Love your plan about the spare room but will you succeed!!

Anglea I do Scrapbooking and that album is where I scrapbook every day in the countdown to Christmas and pop in things like receipts and shopping lists etc. Here are a few pages from my 07 book to give you an idea of what I mean:







GreenT I don't envy you, ready to go in seven days WOWEE!! lol I go crazy with the two I have LOLHow old are your children? Mines birthdays are December and February so it gets a bit crazy here I am so impressed with your 'Pay off £15K by Dec 09 - £21965/ £15k' I would really appreciate your advice on making bath bombs etc, I always wanted to know how to!

wow my little notebook is going to be full at this rate! So much to catch up on and so many ideas!
I've been planning my xmas fayre with my mum today I'm so excited about doing it, I've bought a sewing machine so I'm hoping I can make some gifts using that, no sure what though, really like those Hand Warmers PLM how easy do you reckon they are to make?
I've only skimmed through the pages as it's time for me to take LO to bed, hopefuly catch up later!

awh PLM I'm seriously in love with your scrapbooks, I'm so jealous!!!
I did buy a little red book last year from Monsoon and wrote in it everyday in December my OH thought I'd lost the plot!

pinkladymel

Thank you very much Julie H I appreciate that from you

Hels102 I am thinking I need to learn blanket stitch and then I will be all set for making those handwarmers. I am going to make them red or cream with a little iron-on motif on the front and blanket stitch contrasting sewing on the edges. Must be great to share your Christmas ideas with your mum

Edited to add: OH's don't count unless they are Christmas nutters or supplying money
