Fun holiday list-planner bookBy Stacy Julian I got an idea for a fresh way to compile my various lists that I will be creating and checking twice. Besides the functionality of it all (which honestly a notepad would suffice) I am now officially in the "mood" and feeling quite excited about spending money, losing sleep and doing my level best to inspire children in my home to ideas beyond "I want …" as we celebrate this most wonderful time of year.
 I started with two pieces of 9 1/2 x 8 1/2 chipboard, which I hole punched. I covered them and used one as my base. As I added each piece, I either aligned it with the top or bottom set of holes and when I was done stacking I slipped colored jump rings through to hold it all together. Colors are a mix of red, pinks and greens. I'm loving the newer "lighter/brighter/happier" Christmas combos in my house and projects these days.  It's a collection of willy-nilly papers and notecards and tags, and you name it! Some very old, some rather new - all fun.
 There is a list in here for each child/person I'm giving too (even a cute little section for girlfriends, as you can see) a list for decor, food, family activities, events/parties, etc. I've got several extras, so I will have room for whatever needs dumping from my brain.
 There are individual places to record and "hide" what I'm working on, what I have purchased/completed and what I've planned for each child (with five, I need help!). I've created this list-planner for two years in a row now and it's become a fun thing for me to do. Anyone can do it! It's cheap and it really does help you keep it all together. Besides that you feel 'cute' when you pull it out in a store or at the checkout counter.
