Weekly Goals

Well, I got one goal done, the stars, but failed miserably on the organizing of the books.   I was super good about finishing the stars and I'm so glad that I've finished them.  One more gift to check off the list!  I really pride myself on my gift giving abilities and I work very hard on coming up with gifts that I think people will really enjoy.  Rarely will you find me hopping into Target 15 minutes before I need to give a gift and just picking up a random candle or notebook.  Not my style! Anywhooooo,  this just means gift preparation must begin early! 

Yay handmade presents!  I love that I was able to use up some old yarn.  And some fun silver packaging stuff.  And a Proactive box.  Let's talk about making something out of nothing!  I think my aunt will really like them.  I made her a scarf last year or the year before, I can't really remember.  But she loved it!  She and my uncle are a little on the hippy side, which I love and her home is full of handmade items.  The stars will fit in very nicely I think. 

As for my books, I was very, very bad.  I did put a couple of books that I know I'll never read in my used bookstore box, but I really need to have a Come to Jesus moment with the rest of my books and be honest with myself to get rid of books that I really won't be reading anytime soon. I'll leave that moment for this week!

So, my Christmas goal for this week is to finish up my Grammy's cross-stitch ornaments, which I talked about last week.  And for my organization goal, I really will finish up the books.  This is especially important this week because my parents are coming for a visit and I know we'll make an adventure up to the used bookstore because they have a great record collection and my dad is a little obsessed.  But I promise I won't be buying any books for myself ;-)
