Are you ready for it? Your December is going to thank you.
Here is this year’s updated
Handmade Holiday Organizer for 2012.
I’m excited you’re planning along with me. If you come up with any favorite recipes, handmade gifts, or celebrating inspiration, I’d love hear all about it. I’ll also be starting a Handmade Holiday pinboard right here. I’ll be pinning favorites to go with each week of the organizer, incase you’d like to follow along.

Hello, I’m new to your blog (absolutely LOVING it!) and I just wanted to know that some of the links down the side – the Pretty Packaging Board, the Gift Inspiration Board, Get Organized – link to a Wordpress that has nothing on it – just wondering if that’s supposed to happen? Also some links like the text part of Get Organized link to Free Printables.
:D

Hi Sheen!
I’m so glad you took a moment to let me know. I’m just bringing by blog back to life again after my problems from last week, and am hoping to get this all cleared up soon. Thanks for taking a moment to give me some specifics! I’ll get to work.
Yay! Thanks, AmberLee, I just downloaded both. And I’m so glad your server issues are resolved…technical difficulties are definitely the ugly side of writing a blog!
I’m so excited! I saw this post in my feed reader a week or two ago, right before your server troubles. I’ve been coming back and refreshing your site every day, hoping the files would be ready. :)
Thanks!
Tara! I’m so glad I was finally able to get it to you. Thanks for the sweet note! You made my day. And feel free to email if you need anything like that in the future!
This post was selected one of my great posts of the week. http://www.jdaniel4smom.com/2010/11/great-posts-i-came-across-this-week.html
I’m simultaneously inspired and having a heart attack.
Seriously, thanks for this amazing list!
Cecilia! I think you just put your finger on it. That is how I am feeling!!
nothing ‘s happening when I click the links…
I LOVE this! Brilliant.
Yea! You did it again! I was hoping you would! I always send my bloggy readers to you for this great planner. Thanks so much!
Good Morning! I just found your website through HowDoesShe?, and I’m so thankful to get in just in time to utilize your Holiday Organizer. I always start gift shopping by the end of summer, but all the other preparations seem to sneak up on me each year and December ends up being more frazzled than I care to have it. This tool looks great – thank very much!
I can not open your list. Can you tell me what program you used?
Thank you
Hi Andi! The list should be a PDF. You’ll need Adobe Reader (you can download it for free right here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/) to open it. If you have any troubles, just drop me an email: amberfawson [at] gmail [dot] com.
Thank you for this list again! I used it last year for the 1st time faithfully and loved it! It is so much better than a monthly calendar. This time I blanked out about it but just downloaded it, better late than never. It’s awesome and thank you for doing this.
Sofia! I’m so happy I’m not the only one who likes a good list : ) Thanks so much for dropping my to let me know, it was so sweet of you and made my day!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this helpful organizer!! Unfortunately I found you too late this year – any way you can make a 2012 one we can print out so we’re ready for next year!???
Thanks!!
Heather!
Thanks for your sweet note. And that isn’t a bad idea. Maybe if I’m organized enough : ) I can get working on next year’s soon!
I can’t get the links to work to download this printable
Hoping you’re going to post the 2012 version soon. This is a FABULOUS idea, but the OCD in me won’t be able to look at the wrong date for 4 months. :-)
Thanks!!
Carol,
Thanks for the note!! I, like you, have my OCD side, and yes, if all goes according to plan, I will be updating for 2012!
Finally a holiday list that I can use! But…my OCD side has kicked in too… hoping that you’ll be updating this *WONDERFUL* organizer for 2012!
This is amazing! I just stumbled on your site from a Pinterest post. Thank you so much for sharing! I’m so excited to use your holiday list and actually ENJOY the holidays because I’ll be prepared!
Thanks for the sweet note, Lindsey!! i hope it works fantastically for you!
oh thankyou!thankyou!thankyou! this was the highlight of my day. the MOMENT i saw this in my inbox i ran to the printer to print it out. i decided i would print it on card stock, then i’m going to cut each week out and laminate it so i can add things using a dry erase marker. that way, if i mess up or need to adjust my timeline, it’ll be easy to edit. then, i’ll use this year’s Holiday Organizer as my template for next year and i’ll, hopefully, be able to use your customizable version and make my own that look as amazing as yours. i have the perfect ribbon to use to loop the weeks together. i am seriously giddy about this. thanks again!!
Haha! Melanie, thanks for your comment, and for making me feel so cool!! I’m so happy you like it!! And I”m totally with you, I usually add and erase with pencil, but the dry erase is brill.
Love this Holiday organizer, especially because it’s easy to make it compact and I can put it in my purse! Thanks so much for including a blank copy as well!
I stumbled upon your blog through The Ticket Kitchen. :-D
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!! This will be the third year that I am using your organizer. Love it! I was stalking the blog waiting for this! This simple tool helps me stay on top of things during the holidays so that I can keep my focus on the true meaning of it all. You are a rock star to me!
Jacci,
Have to say that you TOTALLY made my day with your comment. Thank you!! So excited to hear we’re planning along at the same time.
AmberLee,
I just found your blog and am loving it. I just started working after being a stay at home mom for a long time and feel a little unorganized. I am so excited to use your organizer to hopefully help me have an enjoyable non stressed holiday season! Thank you so much! I was also wondering if you could email me a copy of your spread sheet that you use? Thanks, Angela
Angela,
Thanks for your sweet note and taking a moment to write. Okay, I would TOTALLY send you an email of my spreadsheet, except, it is so totally nothing special. I haven’t quite programmed it like I’ve been wanting to, right now if I just have a bunch of headers at the top of columns, and when I want to get a total I just highlight the whole column and read the total at the bottom! But maybe someday this is something I could think about polishing up!! Thanks for the idea : )
Hi there!! Saw you via pinterest and wanted to let you know I love your site!! Thanks for the great ideas!!
Thanks so much for providing this great calendar. I downloaded the pre-printed one, I love your suggestions!
Hi there! I LOVE your organizer idea. I’ve printed and despite being late on the start, this will be great for the remaining 8 weeks :)
Question… how do I get an editable copy of the blank version? So I can type in some of my personal tasks and such. I really love the format and would like giving these to my crafting group ladies as a christmas gift for use next year :)
Thanks!
Tamee
Hi Tamee,
Okay, so the blank version I created for hand-writing items in. Sorry if that is a bummer!! I have tried to make it work with pdf with no luck!! Maybe by next year I’ll be able to noodle it through.
Happy planning! Hope your holidays are wonderful!
