Things to Do 11/12 Week

Thanksgiving is almost here! Which means CHRISTMAS IS ALMOST HERE!

With a new budget in place for the rest of 2018 (and likely for the entire 2019), the holidays are going to be a bit more challenging than usual. My sister's birthday is also the day before Thanksgiving, so no Black Friday Deals for that one. And after some family planning, we've decided to have a big Christmas get together in January to accommodate cheaper travel and getting to see the whole family, rather than splitting it into parts. But that means I've gotta mail a birthday gift home for my sister and get that holiday shopping done this month, next month, and in the beginning of January. (Can I just get everyone NYE poppers after they go on sale?) Not to mention the boyfriend's-family-gifts I've got to account for for this month and next, not only since I"ll be seeing them for Thanksgiving, but also spending Christmas with them.

Whew!

As such, this week I'm going to be focusing on:

1. That darndest portfolio

2. Mailing out a small interim gift for my sister (till she gets the good stuff in Jan.!)

3. Finding some cheap and cute thrills for BF's fam

4. Figuring out an easy-to-make-and-transport Thanksgiving dish

5. Finishing off a round of handmade beads I've been making (maybe some can be used as Christmas gifts??)

Sound chaotic enough? I sure think so!
