Are you done?

OK. So there are 11 days til Cmas. Are you done?

Here are some last minute thoughts from cousin Nancy
to keep us on task...

• Check your lists, what do you have left?, what can wait?, is it important or not?
• No list? MAKE ONE!--be realistic and prioritize. Break everything down into manageable tasks--you can get things done without going crazy.
• Make time for your family and yourself!

Wow. This year has flown. Thanks, cousin Nancy.

The only thing I add to the above is keep your list with you and mark off as you go. This gives me a sense of accomplishment. By the end of the day, my list is all rumpled up and marked on, and shows I've done something!

Sam shot a video of "Wreath Embellishment", but has not completed the editing process. I'll put this on his list for posting this week!

Blessings from the Garden.

Under Pressure

I work best under pressure...feeling a twinge of pressure from my growing list for September. My index card "lists" have become a source of entertainment for my children.

Here is today's Garden Index card:

• FlowerCamp-order aprons, need good clippers, confirm menu w/caterer


• Finish entering email addresses (ugh) for monthly newsletter (Constant Contact) to start in September


• Book flight to Dallas for September 10-14 before the prices get too highDONE!


• Share September To Do's on newsletter and walk the talk


• Figure out how to make this year's pumpkins a learning experience for children


• Write a week's worth of blog posts so when I am doing all of the above, I won't worry!

I'll stop here before I get too overwhelmed. Add that to the day to day list...Pressure!
