Art, Craft and Needlework, September, 2022

As our own CEO shared with us earlier, she is bringing her site "Organized Home" to a close.
Her very nice letter of change and future is here.
For the holidays, of course, CEO's own writings and her site were a repository of knowledge and planning for so long. She eventually hosted a total of 3 holiday planning schedules on her site, the oldest being the venerable Holiday Grand Plan, to which she gave a new home.
Back in 2009, thinking of the Holiday Grand Plan, hosted on CEO's site, I wrote this "shorthand" of the creative gift-giving/decor aspect of that plan for September, which always started about this time of year (end of August) and posted it in Sept 2009 A, C and N thread. So, in hopes a quick overview and reminder might be helpful, here is that post of mine again for reference :
(Let us know if planning for holidays will be part of your September creativity!)
Anyone interested in the Holiday Grand Plan's recommendations for how you might spend your creative time in September?
Thought it might be interesting to have a quick reference in one place for just the creative/handmade timeline of HGP's concept of the month:
Week 1 – week of August 31
Make the following lists:
• Gifts to be given, amount to spend (include family, friends, school, church, etc)
This week's printable forms from OrganizedChristmas.Com include:
• master gift list
Week 2 – week of Sept 7
• Develop ideas for gifts, decorations.
• Divide gift responsibilities with other family members.
