SORRY SORRY SORRY......

CHRISTMAS

l know what you're thinking but as a crafter you have to plan early for Christmas 

Meal with Dave and Alison on Tuesday the conversation turned to Christmas..l asked what would be there favourite time if they could have a perfect Christmas? 

Alison wanted to go away and Dave wanted to have a chill out time doing nothing

I suggested they come to us for a week laughing we suggested a PJ party for Christmas day...hehe

THEY LOVED THE IDEA

Alison gets to go away and they are good enough friends to chill easily at our house so Dave will get his chill out time too

PLANS MADE FOR CHRISTMAS!

Inspirational collage for Christmas....my mind has been planning for a couple of weeks now

lounge will need blues and greens, black and white this year

going to make more loo roll stars and what can l do with all those wool cones?...mmmm 

DISCOVERY!

the local Wilkinsons has an upstair!!....on the way up l noticed some really great priced door handles....as we need 12 sets decided they would be just perfect...only had 6 sets but more will be in, in less than a week...

just under £9 per set

AND A GREAT THRIFTY FIND

picked up 3 smaller serving plates from a charity shop for £1.98. A real bargain and the perfect size for a melon or a joint of something for Christmas and one to decorate for the mantle perhaps? 

 undercoat finished on the  fireplace and the bath tidy so a top coat of eggshell will sort them out

BUT most excited about the new door handles..

so TODAY'S ACTION PLAN is to fill and sand and undercoat all the doors down stairs today then everything will need a gloss top coat

ARE YOU A LIFE PLANNER?

Do you plan your life?...not in stone 'cos it often changes but do you know where you are going from day to day? l couldn't live without a life plan....something to aim at keeps me going.....

I NEED TO KNOW....

what's happening next week next month in 6 months a year 2yrs... a life map to follow gets things done!

everything down stairs needs to be finished by mid October

then we'll have a small kitchen to fit some where else for someone else...take about a week...

then back to sort the 2 bedrooms out for James' night's out stop overs and  Christmas guests....then all the decorations finished off and hung ....

Christmas sorted!

hehe...sorry again for mentioning it so early...just can't help being a planner!
