I'm a list-maker. I think you either are or you aren't. And don't be fooled, this doesn't mean I'm organized by any stretch. It just means I like to write it all out once in a while. Then I freak out about how long it is and how little time i have to do it all.
Like now...just about 2 weeks til Christmas and I still have so much to do. And I'm not even shooting for an all handmade Christmas, which would be nice. But I do have much projects and shopping etc. left.
If you're one of those people who finished your shopping weeks ago...well, I don't like you very much right now.

I am the queen of lists! I swear, I can't function without one. Especialy for events I plan and for going out of town. And it's funny because people always think I'm so organized, but I think the truth is I need a list because of how unorganized I really am without one. :)

Hey Jessica -- I'm totally a list maker too! Don't feel alone out there. Mine is also way too long and I totally gave up on trying to do something handmade for everyone, though I would have loved to. Try to remember to feel a sense of accomplishment about all the things you DO manage to do on your list, instead of fretting over the things that you don't get done! :)

I do like lists - but lately I've been overwhelmed at the thought of putting everything on paper! I did a good chunk of shopping on line and now I'm stressing over ups tracking - lol

I need to make my list. I love a list, it helps me pretend I can do it all.

Oh, big list-maker here. It's the only way I can organize and remember what I need/want to get done. And my daily calendar where I note bills to pay, appointments, work schedule, lessons, to-do's. I'd be a mess without it!

Big-time list-maker here. It's the only way I can organize and remember all the stuff I need/want to do. And my daily calendar. I'd be lost without it.

My list is VERY long too. I came to the realization last night that some stuff just has to go. Like the fact that I haven't really decorated the house yet. The tree is up, and the nativity. That's it. But at this point I don't really care as long as I get all my presents sewn together!
So I see on your list that you are sewing a tie??? I have searched everywhere for a pattern or tutorial for little boy ties - do you have one?

Oh isn't that the truth? I used to have a certain friend. Then she posted on her blog that all she had left to do was wrap a couple presents. I don't like her anymore.
I am a list maker too but I haven't dared to make a list of all I have left. I'm afraid if I do I'll have to get realistic and cross some things off and I'm not ready to admit defeat yet. Come 4am Christmas morning I'll have to I guess.
