Christmas planners!

It's that time again! 29 days till Christmas! Less than a month and jingle bells start to jingle in our heads! That sweet jingle bell alarm!
Windows at the shops never look as glamorous as around Christmas time, colorful lights are everywhere, festive decorations begin in our homes and food preparations in the kitchens… or at least plan to begin… It's that time again!
I belong to the group of people with "great expectations" for the festive period, the people that are never satisfied with any result.
However, through the years I've learned one thing: "Done is better than perfect"! So true! Actually the only truth.
Big helpers in this trial are the Christmas planners. Searching for Christmas planners in the internet you'll find a great variety of cute and useful ones you'll really love! Personally, they help me focus on some practical issues that matter more or less, such as cards, gifts and wishing lists, decorations ideas and menu planning. More extended versions include pages about old and new traditions, favorite Christmas songs and movies and stories or travel plans for the holidays….. and the list goes on. But I try to keep it simple… at least this year.
A new Christmas planner that I discovered just yesterday is the "2014 Christmas Planner", by Woodberry Designs available for both free download and buying options. Vintage and so lovely, I adored it and had to show you. Really worth the visit to this beautiful blog, you'll discover much more than this adorable planner such as the amazing "Simply Shabbilicious" magazine.

The Christmas Planner I purchased for myself is a long time ago find and I discovered it at Busy b store. It comes from the "Oh so clever" range and lasts up to five years! It's simple and classy with a fresh twist and I absolutely love it! I can't wait to use it, or should I already had started to?… Perfectionism, perfectionism….. go away and let the action begin!

In my Christmas page you can find more lovely and free downloadable planners as well as many, many other ideas for a more festive and joyful Christmas period.
So, let's the Christmas begin! Lights aaaaand…. action!
See you soon,
xoxo, Elena

Hello my friends!

Sometimes we don't write because we have nothing to write, sometimes because we don't feel like it, sometimes because we're just bored or because we don't have time and sometimes because all the above are happening at the same time… I can't explain or excuse my absence from blogging for so long. And I won't. Sometimes, what's happening is just happening, with no particular reason. There are "grey" zones in everybody's life. There are times we want to "cocoon", hug ourselves and treat us carefully with the respect and love we all deserve. Like a warrior who needs his silent moments to heal his wounds and collect his thoughts, so is everyone of us. A little warrior of life. 
So, I'm writing today to say that I'm still here, alive and kicking! Just in case you were wondering! With no promises for the future. Just to say I love you and wish you a beautiful holiday season, because those brilliant, magical, happy moments are coming again!
Love you all,
xoxo, Elena
