Hi guys!  It's Marie here today to share with you how I'm preparing for Christmas with Claus & Co.

I fell head over heels for the new Claus & Co. collection the minute I saw it.  Not only does it have everything you need to make a December memories album, but it's also full of lists and calendars to use as a holiday planner.  I'm so happy to get an early start planning out our holidays this year.  I usually just jot things down on scrap paper, or worse try to keep everything straight in my head.  This year I feel so much more organized getting things written down on paper, and being able to check them off.

I coordinate with my aunt to put together a brunch on Christmas Eve, so I've already started writing down recipe ideas and  notes on what we did last year.

I included a page full of Pinterest inspiration so hopefully I can tackle some diy projects and homemade gifts this year.

When I think of a gift idea it now goes straight in my Christmas planner, before I forget.  I've also been tracking my on-line shopping, budget, and packing lists.

Cute little dividers help break up my pages...

I'm determined to get my Christmas shopping done early this year, and I'm making a list and checking it twice!
