Get Prepared for Christmas!

It's hard to believe that it's already December, so it's definitely time to get organized for Christmas! To have a stress free holiday season, you don't want to wait until the week of Christmas to start getting ready. Now is the perfect time to get started. If you do a little each day and plan well, you will be so much less stressed. Therefore, Liz from Hoosier Homemade and myself have teamed up to present the 12 Steps to Christmas Sanity challenge!

Each day we will be sharing a short challenge that will help you be more prepared for Christmas. Challenges will include simple DIY projects (like cards, no bake treats, assembling a gift basket) and, of course, lots of printables. We won't be posting challenges on the weekends so you can take some time off or catch up.
