  Well November 1st...is when I begin taking down all my Fall and Harvest decor.....I clean the house and slowly begin adding my Christmas decor.....grandkids help me unload tubs and arrange items on the table and floor to put away, donate or add to the room.......getting ready for the Holidays...... here is my go to list......... preparing for Christmas in November: Plan your Christmas baking schedule . Baking Christmas cookies can be time consuming. November is a good time to plan out your baking list and start baking a few batches of cookies. Most Christmas cookies will keep well in the freezer for several months. Plan & shop for Christmas decor . Yes, you can start putting up Christmas decorations in November. Think about the items you already have and what you intend to buy. Plan your Christmas tree themes for the year and work toward what you need for them. Decorate for Christmas . The weekend after Halloween works best for me. I begin to unload my tubs and see what I will us

  Today I have been working in the basement trying to organize after the holidays....I came upon an old chicken feeder that a friend sent to me years ago and I used a lot doing my vender shows...I no longer do them so I just put it away in the basement...now I think I will make a display like this one using succulent plants....I think I will enjoy it for the next few months...
