The idea of no drama is what my slow and steady has become these past few years. Nothing makes me happier than a list so I’m loving my Holiday To Do List. If you missed September Holiday To DO List it’s here for you.
Had a question about Deep Cleaning. Deep cleaning is to get the corners clean so when needed, you dust, vacuum and ready to go. It’s true many hands make light work, other’s live in the house? Pick a day, afternoon, weekend and everyone helps, it’s everyone’s holiday, not just yours. Make a plan. See The Quilt Ladies Etsy Shop
Beth Ann’s Book on Kindle and in Print from Amazon – Prime too!
Please remember these are just idea to get you started and ready for the holiday’s, not to make anything perfect, but with little steps maybe make for time for what you want to do, not have to do.
