Kel here - isn't autumn just flying past?!
Earlier in the month I started my Christmas card address book. Well, here's how it's looking at the moment.
I decided that I wanted to make it into more of a Christmas organiser. I used to have one of these and I loved it, but it only had five years worth of pages. Over the last few years since I was doing working full-time and studying evenings, my Christmas organisation has flown out the window. This year I really want to regain control, so that it is the relaxed and happy season I know it can be.
I've made green and red plain lined pages to make my sections (you can download them below). I used green tabs for the letters in the address book section, so I'm going to use red tabs to label my organisation tabs. I'm going to add titles to the pages with letter stamps. Some section ideas:
- Cards
- Christmas card list
- Last posting dates
- Gifts
- Who you exchange with
- Ideas
- Shopping lists
- List of what you've already ordered
- Food
- Menus
- Recipes
- Shopping lists (mark what you can buy ahead of time)
- Budget (& an envelope for receipts)
- Entertainment
- Ideas for outings (include details of addresses and opening hours)
- Calendar pages with booked events written in
Do comment with any ideas for sections that you would use, and if you get an organiser made this year, show us!
This is great Kel. Thanks for the downloads.

Great idea! I've never done this, but it looks like a great way of keeping tabs on things...
