New Decoration
kayceecat - August 09, 2008
Each year I make or buy at least one new thing to decorate the inside of the house. This year I want to knit a holiday pillow. Perhaps an afghan, too, if there is time.

That's awesome! Do you write the date on them so you remember when you added them to your collection?

I get an annual ornament each year from both Lenox and Danbury mint... so I have set for each of my kids to pass on!

Last year I made curtain panels for all the windows in the living room and dining room. I found some cute matching fabrics for only $2.00 a yard! I also made a table runner.

Check your underwear drawer! I always seem to put things like that in my drawer so i won't forget and then of course, I forget I did that. Ironically enough, my hubby and teenagers pointed out to me 2 yrs ago that's my favorite hiding spot from myself. LOL, I was told that because I put things away in the same spots I never rearrange the drawer to find what I've hidden!

OK ladies, You'll have to start doing what they posted in lets get organized earlier this yr. MAKE a LIST!!!
Someone posted that they write down what they bought for whom and where they hid it so they didn't forget it. Seems we Santas are sooo busy more of us forget things then not!

I hope everyone finds everything. I too buy ornaments from trips, for my kids, and try to add something each year. There is so much amazing stuff out there now. Good luck everyone.
