Happy Monday to you! I hope you had a great weekend.
Let’s start things off by announcing the winner of the buttoned up goodies. (Drum roll please….) The winner is Maggie who said the area she most needs to button up is “My menu planning…” Congrats, Maggie! (By the way…check your email Maggie, I’ve already contacted you.)
Next, let’s check in on Finish It Friday! Here is my update.
- Finish painting the bed. So we are almostfinished. The good news is this: I am now confident we will be finished in time. Hooray!
- Make list, shop and prepare appetizers for progressive dinner.Done!
- Finish writing December newsletter. Done! Inspiration finally struck. Yay.
- Do some online shopping…and figure out the rest of the shopping plan. Progress has been made…but shopping will soon take center stage as the top priority.
In addition to the above, we got our tree and put it up. One of my favorite holiday activities. So, it’s starting to look and feel a lot like Christmas…and I love it.
I’d love to hear how your weekend went. Did you get your Finish it Friday stuff finished? Anything else fun or exciting to report? I’d love to hear.
Sounds like you had some big objectives for your weekend, Aby. Glad you made substantial progress.
We decorated the tree and put up decorations around the house. Also got most of the remaining shopping finished up. I’ve been keeping a master gift list in my purse, along with an envelope for gift receipts, and I’ve been wrapping as I go. I can’t tell you how awesome it feels to be on top of this and not have that panicky ugh-so-much-has-to-be-wrapped feeling!
Good luck with the rest of your shopping!

really like this ‘Finish it Friday’, really helps us remain focused on our goals! 🙂 Also, maybe encourages some downtime as well b/c sometimes I just stay on tasks the whole time and that is not good either.
Thanks Aby for helping us stay balanced!
