We hope you've been enjoying the 100 DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS IDEAS being posted on Facebook. It's sometimes so hard to remember to do that everyday so now we're gonna do more than one at a time, here, and then post the link on Facebook.
Here's a recap:
100 DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS Ideas!!!!
Idea 100: get Pinterest
if you haven't done so already!! You'll need a fast and easy place to
store all your ideas for making or buying gifts. Leave your email here
or message Steph with your email so you can get an invite. (You'll
become addicted and we're sorry! ok not really but you'll love Pinterest!)
Idea 99: Start your wish list.
Get yourself a special notebook to fill up with all your Christmas
wishes and keep them all together (or use your new Pinterest account to
tag photos and ideas in).
What do you want your holidays to be
like? Where do you want to be? What do you want to give? What do you
want to get? How do you want to feel when the holidays are over? Some
perfect memories take extra planning so be prepared and make all your
wishes come true!
Idea 98: Pick a service project NOW!
A secret to getting the Christmas spirit is to do secret acts of
kindness with out expecting anything in return i.e. make plans to do
'the 12 days of Christmas' to someone, pick tags off of the giving tree
at church or find a family in need. This will fill your heart and teach
your children some valuable life lessons.
Idea
97: Are you Pinning yet?? Leave your email or send it in a message to
Mandy or Steph for an invite! I'm telling ya, it's awesome and so easy
access your favorite finds from all over the web in one spot!
Ok, the real Idea 97 is to schedule you family photo sessions for your
holiday cards. Even if it's not for a couple months still, it's one more
thing you won't have to worry about.
Idea
96: Prepare your house for your Fall decorations (if you haven't put
them up already!) Dust your knick-knacks before packing them up, wipe
off your shelves or mantel and do a sweep for cobwebs--unless you need
them as part of your Halloween decor!
Idea
95: Buy ingredients for pumpkin cookies (to make while you decorate for
fall.) There's an easy peasy recipe that uses a spice cake mix, a can
of pumpkin and chocolate chips. Mix together and bake on 350 for about
15 min.
Idea
94: COME SEE WOODZY CHIC in the Girls Day Out Boutique at the Richfield
Quality Center tomorrow, Sept 23---10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Lots of cute
stuff!!
Idea
93: Make pumpkin cookies, put up your fall decorations then go to the
Sigurd Corn Maze for Music at the Maze!! Starts at 10:30 am. Come see
Mandy at the Woodzy booth and tell her "I support the troops" and get
10% off your purchase!! Hope to see you there!!!
Idea
92: Rest and Relaxation. Gotta take a break every now and then to
recharge your energy level. Read a good book; take a nap; sip some hot
cocoa and watch a movie; relax in hot bubble bath; play around on
Pinterest and see how fast you become an addict! Spend the whole day in
your jammy pants if you want. :)
Idea:
91 Follow through with your commitments. Find a way to be organized
with your time and all the events that will be coming up. Put events in
the calendar on your phone or try Cozi @ https://cozicentral.cozi.com/logon. It is a great way for every family member to see what everyone else is doing.
The ironic thing about this "idea" is that we forgot to post it
yesterday. We will follow through with this commitment to share joy and
fun with you all better!
Idea
#90 If you like to make homemade cards....or always wanted to....get
your ideas and materials together now. If you have them done just after
Halloween, you have time to focus on all of the other great fall
activities. Send them in the mail the first week of December so your
loves ones have more time to enjoy them!
Idea #89 Stay in better contact with all your friends and family. Don't let Christmas be the only time you drop them a line.
Idea
88: Make plans to go to the pumpkin patch. If it's not already a fall
tradition for your family, make it be one. It's so fun to go especially
when you get a tractor/hay ride out of it!!
Idea
86: Family Photos are so precious! and fall is the perfect
season....not too hot...not too cold. I just got mine done and LOVE
them. If family photos are not in your budget, don't fret. Just find a
friend with a camera and go outside next to a fence, an old car or
something unique and SAY CHEESE!!!
Idea 85: Make plans to go apple picking. Captiol Reef is one place that
I know offers apple picking, if there's any others please share them
here.
Idea 84: Make apple pie, apple cobbler or apple cider, or my favorite-caramel apples with your fresh picked apples!
Idea 83: Inventory
your winter gear that is in storage. Throw away mismatched gloves.
Check boot sizes and coat quality. Start checking out the local store
selections and then check online for great deals and original gear.
Winter is coming one way or another!
