    Just having a few minutes out from writing Christmas cards.
    I've made a Christmas journal with each week from now until Christmas, and I've written down what I want to do each week. So this week I want all the cards done and start making gift lists.
    Next week will be making room for gifts and looking at gift wrap and accessories. I want all the bits and bobs put together in one box instead of in carrier bags. DD1 suggested using an IKEA carrierbag holder to stand all the rolls of paper in, but I don't want to buy anything - I'm trying to find a way of keeping all the different types of paper together but separate IYSWIM!
    Enjoy all the preparations everyone and don't get stressed!!!:xmastree::xmastree::xmastree:
    Hi MrsCD
    If you haven't got sorted yet, I use plastic suit covers to hold rolls of wrapping paper. They hang on the back of a cupboard door or in the wardrobe without taking up a lot of room and it keeps them in check and undamaged as long as you don't overload them! Ikea do cheap, quite strong ones if you're shopping there. ;)
    Edited to add: Sorry, I've just realised that the white, dotty Ikea suit covers don't have zips in or closed bottoms. The ones I use are 'proper' strong covers that I would feel happy to travel with, like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-x-NEW-COAT-DRESS-SUIT-SHIRT-COVER-TRAVEL-BAG-GARMENT-PROTECTIVE-COVER-BLACK-/111760923409?hash=item1a05785b11:g:KE0AAOSw5ZBWKgnw
