I often hear people say that any time before Thanksgiving is too soon to worry about Christmas. These people obviously aren’t the DIY types! I don’t know about you, but I started on my gift-making list weeks ago, and I know that I will still be crocheting and beading and gluing all the way to the finish line. After all, there is a lot to do! If your head is spinning like mine is, you need to make a Christmas planner like this one sent to use by DSC reader Sharon and shared on her blog, Keen Inspirations. She used a dollar store photo album as the base and printed out pages to slide into the 4 x 6 photo slots. She has a link to a set of printable Christmas planner pages in her blog post that she used for hers, or you could make your own custom pages. [how to make a Christmas planner]
