My Struggles

Summer is busy at the lake family, friends and vacations, but it’s time to get back to work. To set schedules, make plans, book events. I’m working on plans for upcoming workshops, projects to go live with, Christmas gifts to make, and designing new graphics for stencils. I always have a ton of plans rambling around in my head, things to do, ideas and projects to try.

I have notes, notebooks, and planners everywhere. One of my main goals for the remainder of the year is to get it all into one place.

I wonder often if I’m the only one that has this problem. How do you stay organized or don’t you?

10 tips for the holidays

#1 My first and for me most important tip is to wrap as you purchase. Keep a list of items already bought and wrapped so you know what you’ve already done. No more staying up late Christmas Eve trying to get everything wrapped and under the tree. #2 Shop all year long #3 Keep a…
