Happy July Rudolph Day

Money has been tight this month so I have just put together a good list of gifts to finish off my Hubby's shopping. I think with what I have it will be plenty, I just have to order it when we get some more money.

I organized recipes this month. I have binders with ripped out magazine recipes and printed recipes so I finished filling up two of them and I made an index for each one so that I can find what I'm looking for easily. I have chosen chocolate peppermint fudge for my Christmas dessert and I can find it in one of the binders I finished when it's time.

I ordered a gift for my friend so I'm just about done with her for the holidays.

Today, I have painted the downstairs hallway the same color as our living room. It's hard to paint the downstairs because all the rooms run together and I love the light blue that I painted the computer room, but I have never loved it in the hallway. I never thought anything looked nice against it. Now it's a creamy off white and the stuff is going to look great on it. I kept holding it up to the living room wall to see how it would look and it's way better. Now I just have to wait until it's dry so I can put all the stuff back on the walls. I hope none of the walls that are in this color need a lot of touch up because I'm almost out of the paint now.

I'm going to be doing the Holiday Houseworks Plan from organizedchristmas.com again this year. I usually get the Fall cleaning bug a little early so I'm ahead of the game when it starts.

Happy Christmas in July!

Rudolph Day- June

This month I ordered more gifts for my hubby. I checked on the prices and they went down so I jumped on it before the prices increased again. That's really the only thing I've done to prepare for Christmas this month. Besides stocking stuffers, I'm done with hubby. I was planning on wrapping again, but I haven't had time yet. We just bought a fancy new car and all of our time has been taken up with that process. So we're half way to Christmas now and I'm doing pretty well preparing. Now if only I could get hubby to plan ahead it would make it even easier on the wallet.
