Christmas Planning: Making Ideas Happen

We’re in the middle of getting our Christmas notebooks created, and we hope you had a chance to pick up your supplies. If you missed the last post with the supply list, you can find it here. Today’s post is all about the first section of our notebook, Ideas!

Ideas have a way of coming to us when we least expect them. So, we are going to capture every last one in our small, pocket-sized notepad whenever the mood strikes! Throw it in your purse, tuck it in the back pocket of your jeans, keep it on your nightstand (middle of the night ideas are some of the best!), and even carry it with you when you exercise. The idea is that wherever we are, we’ll have this little notepad to record our ideas. Then, when you get back to your desk, transfer the pages from your notepad into your Christmas notebook. They can either be placed in the pocket or glued to a sheet of paper for storing in your Ideas section.

A great place to continue gathering Christmas ideas is Pinterest. If you aren’t already following MerryStockings on Pinterest, find us here. Pinterest is a crafter’s dream, isn’t it?! We all get a little lost there for hours, and come away with a treasure box full of ideas.

Another good resource for Christmas ideas is our MerryStockings Email Club. Sign up and receive the latest on our newest products or sales, plus inside looks at all the happenings at MerryStockings!

Next time we’ll talk about the various lists we need to make, add to and organize into our Christmas notebooks.

Merry Planning!
