Just get organized and you will get it all done.” Those are the thoughts that go through my mind when I realize I have 6 months to finish all of my Christmas projects. I will be real that most of the time they just don’t get finished in time and I have to go out and purchase a gift. With everything else going on I need something to keep me on track if I want to get all of my holiday projects finished.
