Life has been so hectic the last few years for various reasons I usually took a mental "Break" after St. Patricks Day, until July. Then it usually kicks into full gear for me. I have a few less responsibilities at the moment, but my daughter is getting married in June. So as much as I'd like to think I'll be doing some Christmas planning, I'll probably fall into that same time schedule again. BUT with that said I do plan on working on some homemade gifts and my cards. In fact now that I think about it, I'm working the election again in June so that might be a perfect time to do that. That's what I did last October, so why not get a head start.
I've been part of this forum for a LONG time now. One thing I can say is that the years I've planned ahead are the years I've enjoyed the most. It just makes SUCH A DIFFERENCE! And you are all part of that!
